DuPont. I call my jobber with the code and year and th paint shows up here within the hour. He knows what he's doing and he has easy access to all the old GM formulas.

Understand that I only paint my own cars. I don't use base clear unless it is metallic since you can't color sand metallic without messing it up. I can't see any reason to use clear on top of a solid color (I use urethane)- too deep and too much gloss compared to the old lacquer....
