I asked a muscle car restoration shop in Canada about a 70 judge they did in mint turquoise . Saw it on the Internet. I emailed him asking how he got the color because in the pics it looked very close,little more blue than mine. He said they had original samples of paint too when tearing it down. They couldn't find a formula that was out there that matched their original paint either . They ended up custom mixing their own and he gave me their formula. Only thing is it's in ppg omni which is their cheaper line, I'd want to use deltron if I went ppg.

I don't care for PPG Omni. It's as if the pigments used in that line aren't very good quality, coverage is horrible, especially if you get into some reds and yellows. If using PPG I go with the higher line. Good thing you got a custom formula because from my experience quite a few colors using PPG formulas, which have changed several times, just don't quite match.
That color should be code 34 I believe. Based on my experience with BASF, their formulas have been spot on with OEM type colors. I've been very pleased with them for several years now. If you have that brand available to you I'd highly recommend it. I only go PPG when using a custom (non OEM) color.
