Do you want modern or historic mix codes?

I think that color crosses to Ditzler mix code 12000. As for the factory paint mix, a bit of searching found this page:

http://karmannghia.org/paint_chips.html

And from there, dug up the page shown below for the mix code you are looking for.

So you want the page that shows the factory mix code for Agave then? It's on that site too if you look for it. ( http://karmannghia.org/paint_chips/laq_6.gif )

Well, you might inquire paint shops with that Ditzler 12000 code I mentioned earlier, that's also a PPG code, and if you get lucky someone might be able to find that one for you.
