When I did the restoration of my car I went to SAOCA to get a disks that
was color copies of the paint codes I needed. These disks were a match to
colors taken from portions of the cars that had never been exposed to sun.
I have a disk for Seafoam Grey and Commodore Blue. They are perfect
matches to the original colors.
