30479 is a paint code for PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Glass) who has been providing automotive paints since 1924 (originally Ditzler Color Company subsidiary acquired in 1928). PPG/Ditzler codes from 10000 to 95000 were used on new paint formulations starting in the late 1930's and extending to around 1968 in the USA. Formulations used for trim, imports, and special orders continue to the present. PPG/Ditzler codes in the 30000 to 39999 range are primarily shades of gray, both dark and light as well as silver. These PPG codes serve as a great way to track the usage of paint between and within vehicle manufacturers.
