That formula is pretty close Tim, the original had a very subtle
metallic to it, where in the newer formulas the
metallic presents are more noticeable.
Here are a few of colors that are commonly available
from the big box stores or FLAPS:

PPG 27467(the inspection panel), and a DuPont formula
that David sent to me recently. I'll leave that
DuPont number up to him to discuss:
http://www.pbase.com/dennygraham/image/154619123The name that GM called the interior color may have changed over
the years but I believe the color itself was actually the same
all the way thru the run until the release of the '54 models.
The best off the shelf match up that I've seen would be the
Rustoleum 7272 that I believe either Gus or Brad used in their
restoration and originally brought to our attention. That's
available in both the rattle can and quarts for a larger area.
As you can see, the Rustoleum is typically much
cheaper than the paint's from the vendors. A good
example is the spray can of Rustoleum from them is
$15+ shipping where the same can from a big box
hardware store is around five bucks+ a few cents tax.
