I tried to get a code for this color as well.. No luck..
Only bet I could see would be to have it in front of me to have something to compare it to.
But then again you may want to see it on a panel or something in front of you anyways before you commit.

Here's an idea Chad. If i purchased a quart of this color, could you create a base that would match, if i sent you the product? I really would prefer a base, if possible, instead of SS, to help reduce too much build. I am totally stripping the truck to bare metal(1990 Ranger with that awesome paint peeling back in the day). I mean i'm not gonna freak if it's a hair lighter or darker than the B/J paint. Possibly maybe i could spray a panel, then tell you if a little bit darker or lighter would be better.

Have you actually SEEN this color or are you just going off the Interboob pic's? ANY paint mixer worth his salt can come up with what you want in about ANY line.Yeah,You'll have to do some sprayout's and then comes the question of,Can YOU spray IT right? Yes,even a simple solid color. S&W has some "kinky" reducers,Like Dupont Chroma,You use THEIR s*it or YOU lose. If you really believe this IS the color you want,then pay the price for the base and lay some SPI Universal over it after a good flash time,like next morning.I've sprayed Uni over just about every paint line the next day,pushing the 24 and beyond with zero pop or die back as well as living long term out in the real world.Pop & die back comes from "something" still "wet" underneath basically.Your playing with "plastic's" here and when you apply another product over one that is still wet,that's when things go bad.A little extra flash time is NOT a BAD thing.Jim C can concur,Custom paint has NO rules,We BREAK them on a daily basis and do stuff most people won't even attempt.Yeah,sometimes we do fail,but it's generally due to impatience :disgust:.Being in the same field,I bring home scrap sheet metal from gal.to paint lock to "play with" and LEARN what works & what won't.As long as the metal is prepped and primed properly,It's a simple matter of learning your paint's limits.Realize that Manuf's "guidelines" are a cover their a$$ attempt to cover their a$$.Even Barry knows this as he's had to pay for fool's & noob's.BUT, He does know HIS products because WE use & abuse them,report back the success/failure and he "adjusts" accordingly.Reason why I still back SPI. Tech/Customer SUPPORT is beyond reproach.

This is why i want to use SPI, the products are great. Barry helps you out if needed, even on a sunday morning when i was spraying the Mustang for my wife. The car turned out damn near perfect, for my first overall paint. Nobody believes it was my first paint job, i learned some tricks that will make the next one better.
 
IMO.I would pay Chad to order as small an amount as possible an have him do what you want. This cut's out all the hassle and the man can get it quicker and report back to you sooner.Shipping paint can be a major "issue" if not done "correctly".There are "way's" of doing this which won't COST YOU an arm & leg.
Yes,BARRY IS THE MAN!!!! And,SPI RULES!!!!!!!!
I'm glad your "first" screwed you,Sorry to say,YOUR HOOKED NOW. Paint JUNKY/ADDICT......Hehehehe.....
I know,as I could barely spray can stuff untill the Brand X Chevelle came along. TOTALLY changed MY life.:encouragement:
