It's why you take a panel in to a paint mixer to be analyzed as to the real color of the vehicle as it now sits many years later.
The difference between taking a paint code to the mixer or a panel to the mixer is:
The panel is the correct aged color and the code is what left the factory.
Once again I'm going to suggest a professional, someone who won't try code paint on an old vehicle.

Well I actually agree with you however my preferred way in the past for vehicles was to start with the original paint and tweak it from there
Either way will get you there but I didn't have the capability of taking a panel as at the time it was to far and sometimes not possible to easily get a panel so therefore I started with original and mixed from there
