The Sebring Silver was a metallic paint. DuPont 867-96417 Ditzler DDL 32312
Did you check autocolorlibrary.com ? I think they show PPG paints? Anybody know if Sikkens paint has a match? I understand that the early paints used a small mettalic chip and that many newer metallic paints use a larger chip which has a different appearance than the original.
I was told by a painter that Sikkens has a variety of metallic chip sizes and is considered by many to be the top quality paint manufacturer. Experienced painters want to give us their opinion ?

Sikkens is definately top shelf stuff. While I usually use other brands, I had one case recently where PPG could only offer an offset so I used Sikkens base/clear and obtained a great blend match. (this was '71 Ontario Orange) Certainly worth checking into.
