The nine Companies/Organizations with Fleet Vehicles using this color are: Avis Truck Rental, Avis Truck Rentals, Baker Service Tool, Charter Bulk Service, Rio Grande Gas, State of New York, US Government, and Wal Mart.

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 93-6014, we have included variations with the prefix removed. The remaining digits are a good way to track paint usage between years.
