1973 Plymouth PPG Ditzler paint chip card reads:

Corporate Blue # 12785

Hope that helps...

Okay thanks, Anyone else have anything diffrerent.  My onlly concern is that this color came out in 1971 ??

  its EB3    this paint code is not to be confused with B3 light blue metallic witch was discontinued  by then

[ACUDANUT]

Hmm you lost me.  The Petty Blue is not a Metallic Color. Is the Ditzler Paint Chip #12785 correct ??

[tan top]

sorry  dude...      petty blue was not a standard color & had a  special paint  code of 999     , but in 1972  recoded it to  EB3  petty blue / street basin blue/ corporation blue / blue streak    & was offered as a standard production color option. i just was referring to B3 metallic color was discontinued in 71 .

          i have it as PPG #2423  on their chip .  may be cross reference  these 2 numbers with you local paint suppliers  .

Here's the card I referred to.  B3 Blue is close, but I'm not sure...
Corporate blue is not as a chip, it's in the Identity colours for Plymouth.

Is there anyone out there with a real Petty Blue car who can transcribe the data plate?

In 1971 Corporate Blue is the same PPG #

EB3 might be a number on a fender tag, but I can't take that to a bodyshop and expect them to understand the color I want, Can I ??
But anyway, I really do appreciate your help.  I will keep my eyes and ears open. I have a another month before it's ready for paint anyway.

If your tell your body shop that paint code , they can cross reference to the brand of paint that they are using.

My 72 Charger is Petty Blue. The fender tag # is TB3. The Ditzler number is 2423. I used Dupont when I painted my Charger. Dupont number is 5351IB.
From what I have read is that this is not an exact match to the petty blue that they use on the race cars, but it's damn close.
