If you ask them to hold 2 of the 4 drops of black, it lightens it just a lil and the silver metallic really stands out. Ask for different swatches.
B5 had darker colors after 70 I think.

This is the paint mixing code for 1971 B5 DAR 2306 Acrylic Enamel. I mixed paint in the 70's I do recall the 70 B5 blue was lighter. I don't have a micro fiche. need a little time to find. I don't have it the base coat formula. maybe this will help.

Here is the clear coat formula for 2304 and 2306. if I recall the 71 blue had more poly not sure if it had less blue. I think 1970 was 2305 or 2019 still looking. the micro film is old and degrading.

People not in the auto body trade . Don’t understand that a paint code is just a code to let you know what color you are looking at. You must have a formal for that color, New paint has a different formula . New components and paint company’s don’t keep old Formulas,So you have to get something that is close to the color you want .In the new components . Because today they’re using pearls and metallic’s not just metallic for paint. So to match a color for a spot job is a little harder than ,Just a complete paint job. PPG was the paint supplier for Chrysler and Dodge in the 1970 . A good paint supplier can do a good match and a good painter can do a good job!

I will have to look at the label on my paint can. It has the formula on the can from when we painted my car.
