Trunk Paint DB164
« on: August 20, 2025, 23:50:38 »
I'll apologize up front for bringing the subject of the trunk paint back up.  It appears that PPG doesn't produce DB 164 and through my research of trying to obtain the paint, nobody seems to be able to reproduce the correct color, despite me giving them the codes and even formulas.  So if anyone has any suggestions on where I might be able to purchase DB 164, it would be deeply appreciated.

Yes, I did.  I have taken the information to multiple paint suppliers including PPG and have not found anyone able to provide the Mb 164 paint.

DB7164 should be present in painters computers. DB164 will kot be there most likely.

Seems like it should be easy to find, but there is a discontinuation of DCC paint required by the formula and the new formula requirements evidently have not been sent to the vendors.  I have called multiple vendors and received the same answer.
