DuPont still has the original mix they used in the 60's. It is on the money. #4483. I would go with Chromabase. That's as good as it gets. The white is GM truck White 817.

The other more modern companies like spieshecker and ppg will all have their rendition but that is where you will see variation. If you go on Ebay you will ocassionally find a 1964 ford color chart which I have. When we shot the DuPont, it was on the money.
***Also, the primer color is very important. We actually painted the car white first to get the meatballs and stripes done and painted Blue over that then cleared the whole car. Ask any that had seen the car before the new owner re-painted it. It is still Guardsman but not DuPont and not the same.
