The color formulation has been used between 1935 and 1998, primarily by Trailmobile; but also by Checker, Chevrolet, Company Fleet Vehicles, Ford, GM, GMC, and Pepsi.

Dupont codes starting with "244-" or "246-" and ending with a 4 or 5 digit number where used from 1920 through the 50's with a few "93-", "202-", and "210" prefixed codes thrown in early on. "93-" paint codes appear to be reserved for Truck/Fleet or very popular paints while the "202-" and "210" where metallic paints. As new paint types came out more prefixes were introduced. For this report on Dupont code 93-1863, we have included variations with the prefix removed. The remaining digits are a good way to track paint usage between years.

Be careful with Dupont 4 digit codes (i.e. 1863 or 01863 or 246-1863) before 1946. There may have been some reuse in later years.
