    IMG_0121.JPG IMG_0119.JPG I took my 76cr 360 tank to the auto parts store and they matched it.They used that rig that tells what the color combo is.It got it close so then they started to play with the color combo A little more of this a little less of this an so on until it matched the tank perfect.The problem is there was no accurate measurements of the different colors.The paint guy said prime a flat piece of metal then paint it and put on the clear he said in the future bring in the painted piece and he would match it he said the machine had trouble with the curve of the tank that's why he told me to paint a flat piece.The tank in the pics is for my 77 360wr which is the same colorI hope that helps.
