    Might also be worth noting that according to M.R. (the restorer of the car), the current color on the car is not based on OE (Italver) or any readily available modern formula.
    It is a custom color-match he created/mixed to as close resemblance to original as possible.
    This is fairly common approach when attempting to recreate 50+ year old uncommon, especially metallic colors, since chemicals and/or materials (metallics, tints, etc) used back then don’t necessarily have exact equivalents available in modern paint formulations.

    M.R. also told me he custom mixed the color during one of the many conversations we had while I was selling parts for the restoration.
