Finally got my first classic car paint match right after three tries

Last month, a guy brought a 1972 Chevelle into my shop in Toledo with a messed up rear quarter panel. The factory color code was gone, so I had to mix it by eye. My first two tries were off, one too green and one too blue. On the third try, I got the metallic flake and the base tone just right, and it blended perfectly. Anyone have a good trick for matching old paints when the info sticker is gone?

That metallic flake is the worst. Been there.

Heard using a black light can show old layers, like dylanh81 said the flake is tough.
