O.K. so hers my dilemma. I'm repairing a wheel arch in my 94 st hatchback. The color code on the label says 752. Opal teal BL. clear coat. the first chart has it listed as Baltic blue metallic. This car is a dark blue and from what I can tell the paint is factory and it looks closer to 8J1. I'm stumped because I want to match the right color when I get the new paint. any ideas?
Thanks in advance. Ron, in Middlebury VT

i had a problem similar to this. my painter ordered paint and it was way off. the mixer screwed the order up. try going somewhere else? if your car is a stock color it shouldn't be a problem!

possible if you take the gas lid out take to a paint shop/store they might be able to color match on computer.

Thanks for that. That's one idea I didn't think to do.
Have a good one!
