No paint code or formula will match existing old, aged paint. Better to match what you have.
The paint was applied when the car was restored a few years ago and is a 2 pack paint. My experience is that those colour matching scanners are OK with pale colours but become less useful as the colour darkens. Mine is virtually black.
