If you send an example to SEM in south Carolina they will match the color for free and then give you the closest dealer near you and a good paint supply shop can put it in spray cans

I did my 69 convertible a few years ago and seems like I bought 6 cans of the SEM Bright Blue. I did the door panels, console, dash pad, kick panels, windshield moldings, top hinge covers, .... I had a little left but you do not want to be short.
