Most do not realize, when they “scan” your color… They are looking thru their database to see if they have a color that is “close”.
They are NOT looking original paint colors by every manufacturer that ever painted a motor, or car or anything like that. UNLESS you get REALLY lucky and someone else has had them mix that specific color…Best I have ever had come up is a 60% match and my paint had little chance at being faded by sunlight as it sat in a climate controlled basement, in a closet, covered with a very nice cover… for 45 years…
Good luck!
