Chris,

Tower Paint (1-800-779-6520) takes phone orders for spray cans of original
enamel Rootes colors.  They are about $9, and can be sprayed on special coated
checkerboard panels available at PPG.  PPG can then match the color with a new
polyurethane mix.  They can also look up the Chrysler-Rootes color code on the
can and find the "near" equivalent.  Matching is more exact.  I sprayed 1/2 of
the panel, and PPG sprayed the other half with their "recommended equivalent".
Just like their catalog states, it is "somewhat darker".  A direct match is
about $25 extra.  Another solution is to remove your hood release/heater cover
panel and maybe the back-side is unfaded original.  That can be matched as well.

Steve
