2-tone paint job on 23rd series

I have my 1950 Deluxe Touring Sedan 23rd series Packard stripped for a massive paint and rechrome job. The car is the original Maumee Maize (yellow) color now. However I want to paint the bottom of the body Packard Blue and redo the original color on the roof. Does anyone know how to get the look of the original lacquer paint? The modern paint just looks wrong (too shiny) for a 63 year old car.

Does anyone know where to get paint in Packard Blue? Apparently it has to be water based piant to be legal in California.
