If you have the color code, mine is L227, strato silver (Wolfsburg West has a good color chart on their web site), a paint shop should have the mixing formula for different brands, including PPG. You are probably going to find, if you don't know already, that PPG is still going to be expensive, but if you are talking $1300 just for the color/clear, even Spies-Hecker which is relatively expensive is cheaper. I think I paid about $1300 for etching, filler/surfacer primer, color, and clear.

i have the code L311 and L312 but no one in my area can cross refrence that code it is too early (1957)

that seems really odd that if they carry a product they don't have a mixing formula. Can you get them to call the manufacturer? Have you checked out the glasurit web site? Not sure what to tell you. The place I got my paint from was really helpful in finding the right mixing formulas for paints, and L227 isn't "new" my car is a '56 so they are out there?
