Help guessing what these color codes are on this roadster?

[skidd]

I asked the guys who painted the car, but they were unable to find the original build sheet. :(
This is the paint scheme I "currently" intend to spray on my car.
Can you eagle-eyed paint experts help me try and guess what paint color codes are on it?
The stripe looks like just a simple gloss black. right?
The pin-strips look to be a non-metallic silver. Which silver?
The main gray though? Any guesses?

edit* guess I shoulda provided the link. haha.

I'm thinking

Body - Pepper Grey Metallic - Dupont Fleet 44490
Stripes - Black Metallic - Dupont Fleet 44435

Here's one I painted a while back:

Ford Dark Shadow Gray Metallic, Code DX

When compared to the Pepper Gray, which is an old school single stage formula, DX has much more life to it due to the different metallics and pearls. Also when you sample them side by side the Pepper has a brownish cast.

There is no shot of that car in a proper light to even venture a guess ....soooo I'm going with Kliner. Dark Shadow Gray, black stripe silver pinstripe. Silver I would go Mercedes Iridium.....no such thing as a non-metallic silver in paint.....they call that "light gray"

Thanks guys. The more random pics of cars I see in dark shadow gray, the more I think that's the one. Hopefully I can find a car in that color on real life to compare.

Is Dark Shadow Gray Metallic a two stage or three stage paint. Thanks.

Thanks Jeff. I am working on a 53 Chevy truck and that might be the color for the truck.

Would you guess that this one is also Dark Shadow Gray?

Add to it that the silver pin stripes that I want from the 1st post, black pipes, and it's almost exactly what I'm looking to do with mine.

Maybe, maybe not. There are soooo many that are in the same general color family that appear so similar that it's really hard to tell one from another until you get them side by side in real life (this is true for all colors not just gray). I usually do spray out samples once owners have narrowed their selection down to 3 or 4 choices. I remember with the one above I shot 4 different mixes and if you had laid all of them on the ground 5 feet apart I'd bet that 9 out of 10 people would have said they were all the same.
