I went to my neighborhood PPG dealer and they tested the 1954 Chevy truck visor underside paint.
The results are shown below on two labels:
label A
label B
The results are just data from the RapidMatch X-5 Spectrophotometer, I have not mix any paint yet, to match up with the actual original underside paint sample I provided.
According to the PPG dealer the results are a fairly accurate and might need a little tweaking to get a exact match if needed.
It would be helpful if someone can decipher what the data means?
My next step is to possibly mix a small sample to see if it matches the original underside paint sample.

Thanks,
