I spent the afternoon at the local paint stores looking to aproximate the yellow and brown of Bronson and Seal. Not much luck.
Anybody here know of a realistic source of basecoat paint that can come close to those colors of paint?

The old standbys of perusing paint chips and finding formulas for colors have succumbed to google searches.
 
Hello, Auto color library should have an appropriate match, search on line auto color library .

Can I offer a bit of a suggestion? Why spend the same amount of money buying an approximation of an original Model-A color instead of just buying the correct shade of color?

While I don't spray BC/CC paints (-so the paint formula I have would not cross from SS to BC/CC) my suggestion would be to contact a local PPG jobber who can call PPG's library where they will have the formulas for the Bronson and the Seal Brown. At that point they can give those to the Paint store for mixing in whatever line you choose. The reason I suggest PPG is because until 1936, Ford manufactured his own paints in-house until he partnered with Ditzler (-Pittsburg Plate Glass was their parent company) to make the paints for him. PPG has updated Ditzler's formulas over the years, and they have the original paint samples from Ford, so they generally can be close.
