the DuPont color code is L8621 personally I would go with sikkens paint - used to paint cars liked it the best - depending on if your going the base clear method or sticking with original single stage - another personal preference I would go with base clear sikkens paint because it lasts longer than single stage especially if its not going to be a garage queen -if you do desire the matte finish like single stage (original paint sheen) they can put additives in the clear to make it not so shiny all the way to flat no shine wile still having clearcoat - with the DuPont code any good body shop can cross reference it with whatever brand name of paint you desire- personally I would not use DuPont
