I'm restoring the wife's 64 Greenbrier Deluxe van. The exterior is not the
factory paint, but I suspect it is close to what was original; I base this
assumption upon the color of the original upholstery and interior paint. It
appears the exterior stripe around the middle was not originally a bright red,
but rather an "orangish" red (the rest of the exterior is white). Was there
such an exterior stripe color? A refinish paint chart, out of a 1961-1964
Chevrolet Service News bulletin, shows a Corvair 95 exterior refinish paint: "516
Orange (DuPont # 31-L, Rinshed-Mason #A-1597 (both Lacquers), or a Ditzler
enamel #DQE-60156)." Could this be the almost red, but sorta' orange exterior
stripe color I'm looking for?

I'd also like to ID the exterior white and the interior colors. I'm trying
to make this a technically correct restoration; any help offered would be much
appreciated.
Thank you,
