Default CHP Paint codes

Hi,
I may finally have a paint guy lined up, does anyone know the correct paint codes for the '82?

I think Bernie gave me this link...it's a good site for looking up paint formulas (for the newer cars):

Is the 1C and 9D all they will need?

What about the eggshell black on the grill and trim?

I would think that they'd be able to cross-reference it with the old paint codes, but if not, you can probably just use the newer codes. I doubt that the colors have changed that much over the years, and you are probably going base/clear with it anyway, right?

I thought about it, and I wound up deciding on the base/clear, even though it is a few years too new for the car.

I'll be doing the same with my older cars...can't beat the finish compared to the older single-stage paints.
