PPG have it.  Tell them the colour you're after and their Technical Customer Service area can suggest equivalent acrylic or two-pack colours.

The BALM Paint code for Elk Blue is known variously as 7481, 17481 or 286-17481, and it is a 1956 colour.  That should be all the info they need.

The original paint book has the nitrocellulose lacquer (lead-enamel paint) formula - and I could give it to you - but it's useless.  The tinters for lacquer are completely different to acrylic or two-pack tints.

cheers
