So I got the car back from sandblasting and would like to put the original paint color on it using PPG's waterborne system. But for the life of me, I can't find the paint code for PPG to put on the prairie bronze color. The online site only goes back to 2008. You guys wouldn't happen to know PPG's color code for prairie bronze would you?

A quick google search turned this one up:

I don't know if it's 100% correct, but google found it pretty quickly after typing "prairie bronze ppg code" in the search bar......

We entered that number in their system and it didn't turn up any results. I'm thinking the reason why is because that is for their traditional solvent based paint and not waterborne.

Huh. You'd think they'd be able to figure it out with this code or at least color match somehow. Very strange. Maybe they're limited because of the waterborne aspect? I really have no idea....
