Thanks for the advice Brian. The door paint under the trim was closer to the rim paint after I gave it a little buffing.

Also the paint chip I was referrering to was an original Duco paint chip page I have, and not a scan. Also the paint may change a little bit after it cures. That picutre was about 10 mins after I sprayed it.

As far as a repaint, not sure what previous owners may have done. Parts of the engine were also painted the same color as what is currently on the body color. So at some point someone was spraying that color.

I question I have is that my car appears to have used a red-oxide primer under the blue. Was this the common primer that Packard used?
