I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but with the variances, manufacturers and their locations, etc., it might require a bit of trial and error and going with what you prefer. To give you an example, through trying some samples on scrap steel, I ended up using a version of a Ford blue for the engine enamel for my early '60s Pontiac engine paint. This is because all of the paint codes for the "proper Pontiac engine blue" were all off by quite a ways in my opinion.
