    I would think any auto paint dealer could mix you up some. Have you spoke with a local paint dealer?

    Stop by a local body shop in your area and ask where they buy their paint.

    I wish it were that easy. The 2 body shops here have switched to SW lastest mixing programs. Their formula database doesn't go back to 76 so they came up with a "something close formula." WAAAAY too dark, plus their scanning machine is broken. So, here I sit waiting on them to get their act together.
    Thanks for the replies,,,,,,,, even yours Frank.

    Jerry, are you planning on going with a single stage color, or base coat/clear coat? I have a Dupont mixing system in my body shop. We don't use single stage paint but I can check my system to see what's available. I don't recommend anything but base/clear. If you wanna give me a call at work tomorrow I'll be happy to check it out. As stated above though...any body shop can tell you where to find the paint you need. PM me if you want my number and we can discuss it further.
