I also tried the axalta (DuPont) dealer and he said they do not make the metallic as fine as Benton gray metallic--finally went to a auto zone store and purchased a few cans of the touch up paint and used a combination of two of them and came pretty close

That's the formula I've carrying around to show,they say there is a code number that goes with the Benton grey,formula and they can't mix or cross with out the code number.... I think it's mostly

the young guys that just don't want to take time to figure it out....I took water fall ,which has good original paint on it,to get it scanned.,,,can't do because to small.The DuPont dealer has changed brands,say he can't cross!!!!!! Need to get out of town I guess.....
