When we did the Jade Black 69 Shelby mixed three times before we got anything near original. So IMHO be careful and compare what you get while not assuming that just because that is what the paint code shows - its correct

Thanks for the codes and advice,Things are going to be even more tricky here as our paint systems here in Australia differ from the U.S.A. A glimmer of hope though as a paint supplier here tells me over the phone that they have the formula,i will have to head down there and get a sample mixed, i'm sceptical but its a start.Thankyou.

+1 good advice for any paint color, especially metallics

Good luck and shot some test panels and get it in the light

I am probably asking a bit much but I dont suppose you have the formula you used for the shelby?

I also had to go through 3+ samples of Black Jade before getting one that was reasonably close to the original shade.  There's a LOT of variation on this color, even among show cars.
