Norm, I was basically told the same thing at all three of the automotive paint suppliers in the "cities" some 10-15 years ago. They told me that even if the old paint formulas were still good, or if they could be cross referenced, the outcome would never match the original unless they used the same old (now unavailable) paint base. At that time, they told me the only answer was trial and error hand mixing and matching, which by the samples they supplied, I believe they were VERY good at. Admittedly, this was probably before they got the modern computerized color scanning equipment everyone refers to now.

I did not question what I was told. These were all older gentlemen who were probably in the business when I was born. And you know me - I don't question my elders....

BTW. Sorry to hear about the fire. That is a very scary thing. I'm glad everyone is okay.
