Source for matching Terraplane paint?

    Hello, Bearing in mind that I'm feeling my way through a car restoration, can anyone recommend a source for a match, for 1937 Hudson Terraplane standard factory color Royal Maroon, Sherwin-Williams # 32144? I am having some sheet metal painted and trying to match the original color on some other parts I had painted a while back. Unfortunately, I no longer have the room or equipment to do it myself.

    Thanks!
    John

    John, any good automotive paint supply should be able to create a paint code to match an existing painted part-sample. PPG paint suppliers are one example.
    Of course, the painter can make slight differences in "tint", depending on air pressure, paint equipment and technique.

    And then there is also this:

    The autocolor library is not going to be as accurate as a local pro paint supplier that has the equipment to match what you have on hand.
