If the paint he's trying to match is over 4 years old, then simply spraying factory code paint may not match as well as him doing a visual match. With paint fade and variations in shading from batch to batch, the 4+ year old paint may have weathered a bit. Doing a visual match would probably be a better choice in the first place.

Yeah, but he stole the black/silver with red stripe from the 3rd gen Camaros ('82-'84 I believe).... 
Then GM musta loved it so much they made it part of the Dale Earnhardt Monte!!

Whoops, sorry, I let the secret out of the bag :p
Whoops.... Doh! Where did that come from.... :p
BTW - a larger version of this pic is my wallpaper on my work laptop right now. I *WISH* my '84 Z28 looked that good (with exception of my Turbo Daytona hood). I also LOVE the Vette rims (I need a set of those for the Z28).....

OK, I'll give you that, but the Camaro HAD to modify it's usage as it doesn't have those awesome monstrous wheel wells/fenders (and the Camaro got rid of the extra silver pinstripe above the red).
