: Matching Black Laquer

I picked up a small dent in the quarter of my '67.
I've had a few body shops look at it and everyone is of the same opinion. My paint will be difficult to match because it has a a brown tone to it.
My question is, can you use a paint scanner (not sure what you call it) to match this paint? If so, how close will it get?
Not sure about the US but lacquer is illegal in Canada so if we were to match the paint, what specifically would I need beyond the can of black lacquer to do that?

Thanks for your help,

Most good painters can match the paint ok if you have a paint code. If not the paint scanner should be able to find color code for you. That would give the painter a place to start. Most Body shops will tell you that it probably will not match, because they do not want to spend the time trying to match your color. But if you find somebody that will take the time you should get your colors matched.
