Incorrect Paint colour

That came out great! I had a similar feeling with mine where I kept trying to rationalize leaving it alone then after I pulled all the masking I couldn’t live with it so I redid it and am really happy I did. It’s a nice feeling.

I've no personal experience with Waterborne paint but I've heard that color matching can be tricky. Certainly matching the color of paints from 50 years ago with an entirely different chemistry is sometimes a crapshoot. Some colorants are no longer available because of new regulations.
Using the color system to scan the paint sample you have is the best path to get as close as possible. I've heard that tuning the formula the computer gives and improve the result but you are very dependent on the skill and patience of the person assisting you.
Good luck.

yes
i have been there
glasurit paint
waterborne gave a wrong colour using the old formula
scanning he colour and reproducing it gave excellent result, anyway one more turn was needed to fix it to man’s eye

top, real 042 colour, well done in solvent original glasurit formula

capture colour

home testing in spray, waterbased, not bad when compared to solvent based piece (left top)

check book against water based formula
