Where would you guys go for the correct B5 blue paint? PPG, Dupont, House of colors, Martin Senior?

I know that the color can vary a LOT so Im goin to want to make sure I buy more than enough to paint the car out of the same mix.

I used Dupont Cromabase with SPI clear on my Cuda. I was very happy with the color match and results. I am sure PPG would proved good color match and coverage as well. When I did my Duster I used Nason acrylic urethane and was also very pleased with the results. For base I would stick to the higher quality paints but I do like the Nason for single stage paint. You do want to make sure you use the right code for the year you have as B5 changed in 71 and again in 74.

Here is a 1970 b5 match that is spot on. It was done by mike Mancini in RI.
They use PPG paint at the shop

The number under the chip is the Ditzler code for the color for a given year.

That looks very good, is that single stage paint or base/clear coat?
