This is an exceptional piece of advice and one I forgot to give in my post.  While you _can_ get touch up paint to match your vintage color paint job, being 
able to pop into Walmart or Autozone and pick up touchup paint is very handy.

In fact, several years ago when I did a cheap MAACO type paint job on a driver  '67 Monza coupe, I chose a modern pickup truck color (that was very close to 
the stock "vair color) which was available in big spray cans. I prepped and sprayed the "hidden" areas (trunk, engine, door jambs) myself ... saving a bunch of 
money over having the MAACO type place do it.
