Looking for paint chip chart

[DTHolder]

Hello All,

Background:
I have a 50' Commander and have the Production Order from the Studebaker Museum.
On the Production order the paint is listed as "P2283 Aspen Gray".
While I routinely see paint chip charts on Ebay (click for example) I have not found this color.

Question:
Would anyone have a link, or possible sample, of a color chart showing P2283 Aspen Gray?

Thank you for taking time to read this obviously minor thing.

That's kinda weird because there is no Aspen Grey. In 1950 there were 2 greys-- a darker Plaza Grey 8283W-UL Duco 751) and Falcon Grey (8339W-VS Duco 784)

Aspen Gray was only used on LA production. Click on photo to expand.

I have numerous paint chip charts in my stash. Let me check.

Thank you Dwain. That is great!

Al, please do not spend time on this UNLESS you would like to part with the chart.

Again, that you both! (Damn I like this forum)

Did somebody say "paint chips"?

Now that DT's thread has done a 180 degree turn, this is one I got from Steve Grant a few years ago.

30+ years of practice and all that time I encountered exactly zero cases of lead toxicity. Can't really have been too big a problem. Glad Dwain had the answer for you!

The Queen Mother in England no doubt drank water from lead pipes all her life and she lived to 101, and she certainly didn't die from lead poisoning!!

I looked through my stash, but could not find a paint chip charts for 1950 models. But I did find on page 25 of Turning Wheels for November 1979 information saying baking enamel symbol 8378 and air dry enamel number WVH N-0041; and in Turning Wheels for October 1985 on page 16 reference to Aspen Gray being a color only at the LA plant (article by Fred Fox). Sorry I don't have the color chart you need, but hope the above helps.

I find it bizarre that Studebaker would have a separate color for it's LA plant.
Thanks for all the interesting information.

The Hamilton plant also had some exclusive paint colors.

Then there were new 'Spring' colors (usually lighter) some years that replaced previous similar colors. And 'Convertible Only' colors (that sometimes were offered for other body types later in the year.
Also, special colors for commercial accounts.

Or a previous year's color/color combination:
