Lou,

Imron color charts are available from the local DuPont jobber, cost around $15.

I think that 44716U is closer to (what I think of ) "Ice Blue" than Brian's 44437U. What Redcay refers to as "Ice Blue", if he did, may not be what DuPont refers to as "Ice Blue". Different DuPont color charts have referrred to the same color number with different names.

Both the above color number are in the "old" numbering system and high VOC original Imron.

Whoever mixes the paint can cross match to the newer low VOC Imron 5000 and 6000 numbers (for most colors). Ten years ago there were over 5000 different Imron formulas available in the DuPont ColorNet computerized color formula system, some colors had two or three slightly varying formulas. By the way, you don't need to buy a full quart, they can print and mix formulas for whatever quantity you request.

On Monday, when I'm back in the shop, I'll take a look at the color charts and computer and let you know what I find....

Later, Jim

I don't have access to a color card and couldn't find a link on the net that shows the color with the Imron code. This is for a repaint of a Jim Redcay, so there is classic content.
