Thanks, I like this color too. I'm currently considering having it repainted due to several paint failure spots - cracking, peeling/lifting, separation from primer coat. If the current color is correct it should be Miami Sand but that looks a bit more tan and less yellow than the current paint. I thought perhaps it was Packard Cream from the 1937 paint options which looks closer. If anyone has thoughts on the name or color match of the current color I'd appreciate the inputs. Worst case, i get the shop to do a color match.

This is my first foray into getting a car painted. I'm hunting for a paint shop within a reasonable distance with a good reputation. Not looking for a concours paint job but don't want Macco quality either. This car is a driver and I'm not worried about judging or points. Trying not to break the bank. Any thoughts on what price ranges I should expect?
