Just keep in mind that touching up a 55 year old enamel color, with aging, sun fade etc is completely different from repainting the whole car.

FWIW, when I had my paint scanned with a colorimiter (IDK if that's the correct term) we sanded, polished and buffed a section of my original paint where there was minimal crazing. The resulting color from the formula the computer spit out was pretty spot on, and any difference might be the product of two completely different types of paint - comparing the original single-stage enamel with the modern 2-stage basecoat-clearcoat (which does have more gloss I think).

Barry sent me a sample card of his yellow that he sprayed out years ago, but I don't know where it is right now - I'm sure it's somewhere in the garage.
