Just ran across this thread . . .

My wife and I were going through this "research project" a few months back when we decided to do a color change on our '70T Coupe. While we weren't overly bent out of shape to get an exact match (to what standard???) we didn't want it to be obviously wrong either. Fortunately for us, the guys at Stalltek are quite particular about color AND had a couple of original slate gray samples (a '60 cab and a salvaged 356 dash) for reference. They painted a spare 911 hood for us: one side using the "official" Glasurit single stage formula and the other with their own PPG recipe.

While I would not make any claims about correctness, I will say that their formula was pretty much spot on with both of their original references in various lighting conditions and the Glasurit sample was much, much darker by comparison. I was talking to the "paint and body man" at Bach Racecraft in Verona, WI and as soon as I said "Glasurit formula" he started shaking his head saying, "not right . . . too dark". They had their own formulation but I can't remember what it was or the brand of paint.

It's an interesting color and its character changes significantly with different ambient light. If its near grass or trees, the green tones dominate. Blue sky makes it cool down and look more steely. And when the sun starts to fade it gets dark FAST to the point where it looks almost black.

Here's a couple of cellphone pics of mine. It will have red upholstery.
