I found the easiest thing to do was to contact the seller while the car was on eBay the first time. It was indeed Peter Gick. He told me what he knew about the color (the # was lost as
the painter transferred the residue to another can), and offered to send me a sample. From what I could tell, the sale went down just fine for Peter. The bidder was at his home. I know no more than this, but found that ending speculation by simply asking can bring the desired answer.
