Further to the posting below, I own a '65 Spider Veloce (under restoration).
I wrote to Elvira Ruocco at Alfa Historical Dept. who informed me that, "my
Alfa was painted red at the factory with AR 505 as the code.

'65 Spider Veloce
In AD7-720 Mark Dubovick asks a second time for color codes for a'64 spider
veloce.
According to d'Amico & Tabucchi, which should be correct but isn't
infallible,
the only colors used on '62-'65 Spiders, including Veloces, were: Bianco
Antico, Biancospino, Rosso Chiaro, and Grigio Grafite.
I have been trying to weed-out contradictory information on the old and
incomplete Ditzler (PPG) and DuPont lists I have and cross-list them with a
current Sikkens list, but it isn't done yet.
Biancospino is AR-013, Ditzler 8812, DuPont 8654
Grigio Grafite is AR-716, DuPont 8776
Rosso Chiaro is identified as AR-505 on Sikkens list, #407F4 on their
charts;
but on the DuPont list I have AR-505 is identified as Spring Blue, so
something is wrong. I would bet AR-505 is a red, as AR-501 is Alfa Red,
AR-510 Carmen Red, and AR-514 Signal Red on the Ditzler/PPG list.
Bianco Antico does not appear under that name on any of the primary lists I
have, but it appears as Ditzler 8393 for 2000/2600 Sprints and Spiders on a
secondary list.
Unless you can get better information elsewhere, I would look at Sikkens'
charts; their local distributor may be listed in your phone book under the
name of the parent company, Akzo Nobel Coatings Inc.
