For a total respray, computer matching should be fine. It's not as if you
are only repainting one panel, where you have to deal with matching
weathered paint and the original texture.
And with all due respect to ol' Henry, my local auto-paint store did a
spot-on match when I went in and asked for a quart of Triumph Code 82
(Carmine Red).
