Fathom Green Paint

Marlin mentioned useing a prophet, ie: a scanner to read a small chip of your paint. That may be a good option as many times paint jobbers will cross reference the old codes to new ones as some of the old mixing codes being laquer, don't have a BC/CC mixing code. Those newer mixes while close are not the same. Also BC/CC is going to be brighter, and have more color depth due to the clear coat. That alone will make it look like a different shade.
www.autocolorlibrary.com has chips, although they are hard to see.
I'd get a scan, and talk with a jobber who has experience in mixing older shades. Most places do'nt. Schonye

Schoneye is right on re: the jobber's experience. I only go to paint supply stores where I know the guy behind the counter is also into restoration, they will know exactly what you want, why you want it that way, and how to get it for you!

For my R.Green car, the hardest part was finding an area on the car that still had some of the original paint. A prior paint job had been done on the car, including jambs, etc.. So, I pulled a fender and hacked out a piece of the cowl, got it scanned, and will then weld it back in. It can be a lot of work, but I want the paint to match what was put on the car back in '69, at that Nova plant, on that day!

Pic is before I bought the car, notice the replaced trunk lid - normally an excellent spot for a prophet!
