Make sure they fit properly would be my suggestion, if you plan to use them.

Nice thing about using a later OE color, is you can easily find the paint/code if by chance you need a touch up.

Also, colors that are more than X number of years old either cost more, or are never the correct shade.

You can stalk dealer parking lots, and see the color in person on a car, which removes a lot of guessing/risk.

A lot of the blues have purple in them, which is a personal 'erk' to me.

.I thought about the issues you brought up and they are good points. The only thing I worry about, as you mentioned earlier about your color, is there is more metallic in it. The more metallic there is the harder it is to spray without getting streaks or zebra stripes. Im not ultra experienced in shooting metallic. Im still on the fence but your right, the new colors pop much better than the original colors from back then.
