Of course, you still have to come up with custom mixture based on that code if they recognise it at all. Being flat is the important part.

The original paint numbers were for a lacquer mix. The 0 degree gloss flat paint used on the metal dash structure had a suede additive which promoted a mild texture finish. Good luck trying to obtain/replicate in the lacquer paint mix w suede additive today.
This is an area I always look at early on when viewing freshly "restored" cars from local & regional shops that turn out multi make vehicles. Typ, the results viewed have been mediocre at best. With the substitution of modern paints, one will see everything from BC with a matte clear..uggh.. to the experimenting with misting of a dry coat on top of heavier coats.
