Been putzing around with various paints this past year. The Wurth satin trim paint always seemed to be the closest to the original tin color that I found. Recently picked up a can of their semi-gloss black laquer paint. Well it's even closer to the original color! Be great for touch up if you dust it in, or decide to do a repaint. The satin trim was just a tad too brown/grey from original. This semi gloss black picks up the shine abit, and lessens some of that brown/grey tint (although it still has some which is a good thing). They have a laquer primer that goes with it. Definetly a satisfactory match, although not perfect. It's just slightly blacker than the orginal tin. Hardly noticable.
