What paint line are you going to be using?

Garnet Red is listed under 1969 Chevrolet. In the PPG line it crosses over to PPG 2076. A PPG should be able to help you.

I had the same problem with 69 code 53 blue.
I had to pick a newer years color that was close.
Get the PPG paint book out and start looking.
Good luck. :cool:

I don't know if this will help but what I am doing is using dupont chromabase bc/cc and they just released every code for the corvette. It just so happens that marina blue was a 1967 corvette color. I don't know if corvette had the same color as your looking for but its worth a try. They may have even called it something else.
