Go to the paint and body forums. Using a code won't always get you the right color.
I took the code for B/GR to 4 different paint mixers and came up with 4 different colors. Paint brands mixed to the same formula were, Sikkens,
Glassurite, Dupont and PPG. After a ton of searching we found a Ford white from Sherwin Williams (auto paint) that was closer then all the mixed formulas

would you mind posting what the paint code/model etc was of that Ford paint by Sherwin Williams- would save re-inventing the wheel

I recently had my bus painted, and tried the paint codes. Both colors came out way off... Don't go by the paint codes.

Paint codes will get you pretty close.
The best way is to find a part that is in OG paint and have it color matched by computer. Typically an overhead vent panel would work great as it's usually untouched by sun damage.
This should get you the exact color you need.

I typed it in awhile ago after finding the codes in our body shop.
