Is there one paint that's better than the other for having accurate matches for classic Mopar Musclecar colors? I've never had much luck getting colors computer matched, plus some vehicles like the one I'm working on don't have any usable paint to get matched anyway. When faced with this situation in the past I used to get some Centari acrylic enamel to use as my reference point since this is probably closest to what these cars were originally painted with, but I got a sample of the color on the Plymouth I'm doing now in Centari and I have a real question whether it's right (or got mixed right) since it looks too gold to be the right color based on the pictures I've seen of the color and my original Dupont paint chip (yes, I know these chips might change with age). I'm concerned that these colors are getting so old and the demand for single stage paint to do 100 point restoration quality single stage paints jobs is so low that paint companies aren't putting a lot of effort into keeping these colors - especially the less popular ones - accurate when they change the components of their paint due to one reason or the other.
I've been contemplating TCP Global "Restoration Library" paint: since this is how they market the paint maybe they make some sort of effort to keep the colors right. I'm mainly concerned about color accuracy than anything else so I don't need a super fancy paint: let's face it, these cars weren't painted with the greatest paint to begin with. Mopar ar getting so value these days and it's getting hard to find them that are restored right including being repainted with the appropriate paint.
