I have seen more than a few vehicles where the colours don't match so it would appear that a fair amount of skill is required in order to get the colours right!

Thanks Dave!
Getting the colours to match on a old car like this is always a challenge.
The paint system that we use (Duxone for Du Pont) has a huge database and gives a good start. There are a also a few standard blending tricks which makes the new matched colour look more obvious but we prefer to test paint (sample colour cards) a few times before moving the car to the booth. At this stage we still have time for this and it seems to really work well for us.
