Recent talk about discontinued toners doesn't sound like good news for our community as a whole.....

Working on my Street/Strip '69 GTX that you may (or may not) have seen before.

A little about me:
I'm about learning and doing.
My first paint job was this car back in the early '90s, I did it in black lacquer which has all mostly failed by now as the car spent lots of time outdoors.
I am replacing alot of metal and so forth.

To be honest, the car will probably never be a true restoration as long as I own it... things have been enhanced quite a bit, but I'm the process of trying to
plan and figure out what is what, and am considering maybe returning it to the original color.

The inside of the trunk lid shows the original paint which is A4 silver (attached)

Trying to figure out if the current off the shelf PPG formula still considered pretty close (as it was, not too long ago), or
if would I be better off trying a Spectrometer instead.

I may end up changing the color to something that is a little less painful to research but would like to try to give the original
A4 a chance with a sprayout, if I can acquire a small enough quantity to make it reasonable.

Thanks
