The paint was matched at a local auto paint store that the school
has a contract with and receives a discount through. The topaz blue
metallic (PPG #191003, which is used on BMW's) was the closest match
to the Pheonix Graphic stripe. I decided to go with an enamel body
color instead of the BCCC. The interior blue (PPG #15120) was used
in GM cars in the 70's & 80's. Matching the carpeting, seat
upholstery, and original panels was more difficult than I thought it
would be; I have repainted several interior panels before finding a
compatible match! ~Lu~
