I had my BSO 69 AMX repainted in lacquer back in 1977. Unfortunately, the color came out looking darker than the original paint. I say unfortunately, because I love the original bittersweet paint color.
Naturally with a 35 year old "lacquer" repaint, it's showing its age. So when I can afford it, I planned on using Dodge's Toxic Orange color on my car as well.

Glad to see you made the decision. I would complete a spray-out (card) first and see how the paint looks to you without the pearl. A lot of the the pizass is the pearl and metallic. You can change the size of the metallic to a smaller flake, but again, removing the pearl or metallic can signficantly change the visual appearance of the color. It's worth completing a few spray out cards and place the card up onto the car for comparision.
