Yanky car colours generally go by years.makes them easier to find from my experience. Yes you will find codes to match them from ppg.dupont and so on.ive got a 75 caddie and norrowed the colour down by the year it was made.

Quick Google turns up this which looks useful. Paint suppliers probalby have cross references between manufacturers.
