Matching old SPI Paint

Hi,
New member here. I started fixing up a 72 Malibu about 15 years ago and at the time I was taking autobody / paint classes at the local continuing education center. Since I had access to a spray booth and was able to paint my hood and doors using SPI black and universal clear. Then life went on, I had kids, and this project was put on hold for awhile
Now I'm jumping back on this project and was wondering what my options are for paint. I assume the old paint is no good after all this time. If I get some SPI paint will it match or do I have to respray everything?

Thanks,
Sean
 
The car had been inside the garage the whole time and was sprayed with epoxy primer. I need to finish up some of the body work before I do anything else. The painted hood and doors were stored covered in an unheated carport. I believe I sprayed (3) coats of clear on them.
 
Thanks for the replies. I've spent a few days thinking about my options and since I'm most likely respraying the entire car, I might go back to painting the car green again.
