for some reason the 73 chart does not have blizzard white, but according to thething.org, blizzard white was also a 73 color. the code is 90H, or L-90H.

i painted my 74 this color last year and had no trouble getting a formula from PPG. i can give you the formula, but it might be better for you to get it yourself. ppg has a techniacl help line and they are very glad to help with this sort of thing. you need to use ppg paint if you go this route, which is not a bad thing considering ppg paint is some of the best available. the paint was a perfect match using the ppg formula and paint.

Scott give good advise here. to see more about the Thing ppg paint codes go to
