Default 1966 GTO Paint Code Conversion from Ditzler to Deltron 2000?

My painter would like to use the Deltron 2000 DBC basecoat/clearcoat system and is having trouble getting a match for the 1966 Platinum Poly code 32525. I would like to go back to original paint color, but we do not have any area of the car that has not been gone over that he can use his high-tech camera on for a match.

Has anyone recently tried to match this paint code to a PPG Deltron code? Short of that, I guess I can go thru the thousands of silvers out there and pick something I like.

Sorry I know this topic may have been beat to death, but I'm not seeing anything specific.

Thanks in advance!

I've been in that situation before with DBC, and my paint jobber has called the PPG tech lab and gotten help (a formula) in some cases. See if you have that option.
