Mazda maya gold paint match?

I was trying to find a match on the duplicolor paint site but didn't see the listing for the paint code on my firewall. However they do have Sunburst Gold which was used in 2000 on certain Mustangs. I found a cardomain page that had a mustang pictured and I was wondering if it looked the same to you guys. What do you think? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/382511...convertible-2d

A real body shop can look up the paint code from mazda and mix it up as needed I bet. I doubt
duplicolor will carry a 30 year old cars paint code match.

I know a guy who specializes in mixing paint and then puts it in an aerosol can so it's not that big a deal. I just wanted to save myself some time(mileage) to go get it. heh.

That Sunburst gold is the closest rattle can that a store would stock, I used it on mine. The *** end of mine where clear was pealing. Its a tad more gold than the stock Maya, I can tell the diferance but my buddys cant. Also the only reason it worked on my car was I redid the whole rear end, if you tried to do just a door and not the rest of that side of the car it would show real bad i would think.

Do you have any photos? I'd like to see how noticeable it is.
