You are absolutely right. I bet if you went to 10 different places and had them mix F8 1969 green (I guess it was same color in 68, but a different code?) in 10 different paint brands, you would get 10 different dark metallic greens. I really like my green, but it is a bit darker than the original 1969 F8 Dark Green Poly. For instance, look at post #55. His car is F8 also, but definitely lighter than mine. But I like them both.
