Early dupont codes have a prefix followed by a dash and a 3, 4 or 5 digit number. Common prefixes are 244, 246-, 93-, 202-, and 210. For this report on Dupont code 882-95180L, we have included variations with the prefix removed. The remaining digits are a good way to track paint usage between years.

The 4 or 5 digit Dupont paint codes ending in an L or LH or LM are Lucite paints. Primarily from 1960 to 1980 Dupont paint codes included all three L-Lucite, A-Centari, and D-Dulux versions. Use the 4 or 5 digit code to track paints colors independent of paint type.
