Default Paint formula

I know their has been a change from the original formula, but can some one tell me where I can get the paint formula for 1963 Sebring Silver?

Thank you

The formula hasn't changed, but the tints to mix it have changed.

George, You may have answered my problem. I have a Lyndale Blue 67 Coupe. It was painted in lacquer base/clear 25 years ago. I'm trying to match it so that I can add a 427 hood. Mix by formula is too dark. Mix by Spectrograph matches formula mix perfectly. I've been perplexed as to how/why this occurs. It must be the Tints! My last resort is called a spray out. The mixing Tech. will attempt to tint the color to correct by eye. We'll see. Al W.
