They should be able to get it, or if they have a spectrometer they can actually use the gun to match the paint to the car (provided you bring the car). I used this method to match the scoop to my hood on a 76 Fury Sport. I had the original code, but the years of fade, etc. no longer matched the "code" mixed paint. Join the Penguin Liberation Front!!

Deal mainly in, you guessed it, auto electrical stuff, but also sells auto paints. $19 per can. Single stage obviously. But was a perfect match, and worked well in the trunk area and on my extra set of steelies. codfish
