Default Can anyone cross reference my paint codes to Dupont ones?

Looking to buy some dupont paint so I can have part of my 96 ram repainted. Its the silver and red two-tone.

These are the paint codes I can find on the truck:

pm4
qfa

Anyone know the dupont equivalent codes?

Go to your local Dodge dealer (before they close the doors) and give them your vin#. They will print out a build sheet that will give you all that information.

Any store that you buy your dupont at will have the equivalent codes.

Your red is B8821 (there will be a letter after the number, depending on what quality of paint you are using, K for Chromabase, F for Chromapremier, ect). The gray is B9263.

Dude, you need to know for sure the paint codes on the truck first! (without guessing if you got it right) That is what I was talking about. The stuff is big bucks and once it's mixed, your out the cash obviously. Any where you go(as Laramie stated) will want the OEM code. So whatever. And maybe you could tell us why you want the Dupont code and you won't get replies you don't seem to want.
