need actual hue/shade, suggestions: 1.$4.00 can Sherwin William's Antique white, the S.I. paint

is way too expensive (John Poulos) 2. I found a 1963 Volkswagen white that is a near perfect match. (Lewis Schucart) 3. Ford Wimbledon White, AKA Ford Truck White, is almost an exact match of the original color of Studebaker Avanti rims (Stan Gundry) 4: Formula at http://www.ncsdc.com/TechnicalPages/PaintForms.htm
