So the last few years I've used BASF products. They still have some of the closest formulas to the old stuff. I primarily use the B/C systems here and they come out spot on, other than a deeper and richer appearance because of the clear, but the color is perfect. I just did a 455HO Formula in Lucerne Blue which is a touchy color to get right (similar to Chevrolet Lemans Blue) and it came out perfectly using the Glamour line of BASF base/clear. I'd post pics but unable to do so. Could share more via email if you wish.
