I just had a scratch fixed on my car that required paint.When we entered the paint code on my 03 Tangerine Dream Cruiser, the computer said 'Approximate Match only!'.We sprayed it on a test card and it was too light.We then ordered a pint of PPG Global (they have the correct color in their selection) and the color was a dead-on match right out of the can after being diluted with thinner per the paint can instructions.You cannot see any difference at all where mine was done.PPG's Global line is the same stuff that is OE for cars like Ferrari, Lamobo, etc. It was about $60 a pint shop cost, but worth it to get the right color.
