Default Modern paint codes

Good day, I am getting closer to painting my 67 GTO code L2 , Trim 220
I'm having difficulty with my body shop trying to get the proper modern code for Mariner Turquoise, and the 60 deg interior trim formula. I see the paint ref website shows a WA 3630, has anyone used this color on their car? My body shop gave me a sample to spray on the inside of my trunk lid with a HLVP, it looks kinda close. The last time I saw my car in this color was 1983, so I can't be certain that what he gave me is right. Is it correct? The other issue is the interior paint code RM 67838, which is the dark aqua color for the dash and seat backs. Any fresh Mariner Turquoise paint jobs out there?

Thanks!!

Looks like PPG has it available in Shopline and Omni lines. Their brand code is 43659. Unfortunately we only have Delton DBC and Shopline Plus mixing banks otherwise I'd mix and spray out a sample for you. If you find your local PPG jobber or any shop that sprays Shopline or Omni, they should be able to mix it for you. In our experience here over the years the Shopline colors (which I've been told is the same as Omni just branded differently) on the older vehicles matches better to original samples than the much more expensive Delton line if there is even a formula available in DBC. Sometimes the Shopline base coat needs an extra couple coats for full coverage, but the price difference is so great that it's still more economical. I have to do some research at home for your interior color. Hope this helps. If you're set on using RM (in my opinion the best paint line, but also EXPENSIVE) I can reach out to another vendor, let me know and I'll see what I can do, but in my experience It could be 4 or 5 times the price for color.

Thanks so much for a detailed response. I'm headed over to the body shop in the morning, if and when you get a chance on the interior code, it's be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

My car is Mariner Turquoise with the dark aqua interior I have two cans of paint with the codes on them, I think. I can check them tomorrow. Also, in case you didn't know the dash top between the pad and windshield is 0% gloss. I think my painter used 0% on all the interior pieces, then used a semi-gloss clear over everything except the dash top.
