Where can I find my paint code?

My 1970 GMC is listed in the glovebox as:

592 WHT & DK BLUE & WHT

So most of the body is DK BLUE, which I -think- is Ditzler 2169. But if I look up "1970 GM Dark Blue" in the cross references, what are the odds I'm getting the right Dark Blue? In the paint chips there are three blues for 1970, the closest name being "Dark Blue Poly".

Also, from looking at the inside of the glovebox (the actual paint, where it is best preserved), it seems to have a bit of a metallic to it. Is that accounted for in the color code, like Ditzler 2169? Or does someone then need to figure out how much metallic to add to this particular base color?

I'm sure a competant body shop can get it right, I'm really just curious about how its done.


Thanks!
Dave
