Here is some more info on paint.
A few years ago, I was trying to get 56 Chevy tropical turquoise paint. I
had the paint code and every supply house I went to said that it was only
available in enamel.
So I bought the enamel and painted the dash and the metal pieces that go
around the window on the inside.
My friend who is a painter took the window pieces and gave them to his body
shop supply house. When the Dupont rep came in, he took out some kind of
computerized meter and put it against my turquoise enamel paint and is spit
out the formuls to make that color in the newer chromabase two stage paint
system.
This is just an fyi, I have a feeling that the old codes won't cross
reference.
I believe this tool the reps have is made so that you can match a paint
color on a car after it's faded a bit, this way you don't have to paint a
whole car to get the repair to match.
