Had your E-Type sprayed Opalescent Maroon in the last decade or two?

[No Quarter]

My E-Type project, 1964, is supposed to end up looking something like this. The color according to Heritage is supposed to be Opalescent Maroon. My painter, to whom I have given all the codes I could find from that time, some found on this forum, says that it does not help him, he needs newer codes.

The color can never be 100% the same, for example. it was without clearcoat over it back then, but something similar to the picture. Is there anyone in the forum with an E-Type Series 1 in the Opalescent Maroon who will help with the (modern) paint codes (and a picture)?
Thanks

Auto paints Brighton https://shop.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/ can supply Opalescent Dark Blue as a gloss from the gun (i.e. no clearcoat), which I’ve got on my project car. Even if it’s not practical or legal to import paints from them, perhaps they could spray a small metal plate in your Opalescent Maroon and send it to you?
That could give your painter a good reference, assuming you like what you see.
