Seems a paint supplier should be able to translate that color code to another product line, no?

Yeah, when I went to the PPG paint store with the lacquer codes, they told me that they could not be translated to a single stage acrylic enamal. They did scan the inside of my glove box, but their scanner only matches the sample to the closest existing paint code, which wasn't close at all.

If you go to a house paint supplier, they can match any sample, as long as it isn't metalic (I think). I recently sprayed a old 1960 powermatic bandsaw with alkyd enamel paint matched this way at Benjamin Moore. I wonder how this paint would hold up on a dash. I don't suppose you could add hardener to it. It take for ever to dry and stink forever.
