I would think, since you are painting metal, that it might be
better to use a supplier of automotive paint rather than house
paint (or does Sherwin Williams sell car paint too?). They can
still do the computer matching of the color, but since it is
probably faded or weathered, it might help if someone knows the
correct color code to give the paint supplier. I would think
one of the restoration gurus on the list would know.
