Your going have to be careful with 504 in PPG, especially Deltron DBC, and Omni to a degree. Acrylic Urethane is pretty close mixing to the "code". I got my Deltron through TCP Global, because no local shop would mix it. The first batch mixed by code was very muted and greyish. I sent it back for a remix and the second batch was the same. I hand carried the paint and my glove box lid, and a can of AU that was real close back to them. They were able to custom mix it very close and that is what I used for my repaint. TCP and several other paint shops told me that the old codes and the new paint formulas, most notably PPG, don't yield the stock looking colors anymore. Also the base/clear further changes the appearance, the metal flake is more pronounced and on my 504 more of the gold tones come out in the sun. In the picture below is a can of AU and a splash of the "mix to code" 504 Deltron DBC (muted greyish green) over the AU. This is what freaked my painter out and started my journey with TCP Global to get the 504 I wanted. Just looking at the paint in the sun It does not look like the old color but when I hold the inside of the glove box door against it, it's clear it's the right color, just more vibrant. There are several pictures of my paint job in my build thread and album.
