Reply to "Copper metallic color"

26 years ago I owned a'72 that had its original Bronze Metallic paint. I currently have a '72 that I bought specifically since its original color was also Bronze Metallic. I wanted some touch-up paint, so I went to the local PPG dealer (they still sell lacquer) with the paint code shown in the shop manual. Their computer showed no listing. They called the main headquarters and were told that PPG had purged such old, little used codes from its files. They offered an alternative that was supposed to match, but it didn't. My next step is to have the paint dealer try to match the car's finish starting with a scan using the hand-held device that they have.
