Some Automotive paint retailers can digitally scan your car's paint and blend a can for you. If you can locate a vehicle with the color you like, make the effort to coordinate.

I wanted to match my '37's body color to paint a set of hub caps. It worked out very well.

There is a late model ford trk I believe that is a very close match to the correct 37 color. My 37 was painted with it back in the 80s.

I don't know if the Woodie Brown for the '46 Ford Wagon is the same as the '37 but this is the paint code given in the V-8 Club, '41 to '48 Book. The color given is for Dupont Paint.
853 J, Red Orange, 55.4 Grams
806 J, HS Black, 31.7
843 J, Bright Yellow, 19.7
801 J, HS White, 10.5
150K, B/C Balancer 227.3
175K, Binder 91.7
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I neglected to add that the above information is for one pint of paint.

Just ran out to my garage and went thru some of my old paint cans. What I found is the Woodie Brown paint I got using the formula I posted. It's a Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel. the number on the can is, YS 249 A.
