What brand has the best match for 1971 B-5 Blue? I got a sample of both PPG's DBC and Dupont's Chromabase.I did a sprayout and they are like night and day. The PPG is way too light and silvery and the Dupont is way too dark and grayish. Right now I left a sample with my paint supplier to try to match but I was wondering if anyone has found a good formula in any brand?

I went with Chroma-base...... I had it mixed off a color match. The formula is: 1 gallon =
827j----653.6
4530S----960.0
813j----1220.0
820j----1319.6
811j----1367.2
828j----1398.0
801j----1428.0
805j----1453.6
150k----3361.2
175k----3480.0


From what I understand, They now have formulas specifically for more of the old mopar colors so you can see how they compare to this mix.
Hope this helps.
