Default Paint Question

If all I have is the name Ford Cream #100 and Maroon #21 can most local auto paint stores take that and get correct color? I believe these two colors are for Ford Trucks 1939. I can turn a wrench and weld, but body work and paint are out of my league.

Here are the colors shown as being available for the 1939 Ford vehicles. Double check and make sure your named colors coincide. Seems like custom blends were available.

Thanks Merc Cruzer, that was a big help. I missed that sight while doing a google search. I think the colors I want are Tacoma Cream, and either Moselle Maroon or Monsoon Maroon. Do either of the Maroon colors have a tint of brown in them. I could not tell by the color chart on the site.

Sorry I am not familiar with the colors you need. Feel free to call them to discuss any questions. They are quite knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I ordered Yosemite Yellow, for my 53' Merc, and the color was a dead on match.
