I agree with Marith about Ditzler.My car was originally Bronson yellow.The Ditzler color was about the color of a yelow pencile but with more brown.The original paint on my car was more like a yellow writting paper, much lighter and not 'golden'.Many others with original bronson yellow cars have mentioned the same problem.I had my paint made to match original; paint from a window molding (which was covered and not exposed to the sun).The MARC/MAFCA chips were closer but still way to golden.It has also been said from oldtimers that the original paint could vary from batch to batch and you could have two new Model As painted the same color which did not match.
