Default 1954 copper???

Have a 1954 car and the last 4 numbers are 4551, it is unrestored and the doors have never been repainted. The color is copper or should I say faded copper, I will post a picture tomorrow.

Second question is the car needs restored, do I use a color match to the inside of the door?

I've seen a few painted copper 55's that are fare different then the original color ,(using the wrong size flake) I have a real original 55 copper vett. If I can help just ask ( yes I've heard of other 54 copper vetts.) but cant verified them . I know of number #22 55 being copper.
