[TR] Recommendations for dark BRG paint codes?

I had a private request for more info on the BRG I chose for my 4A, so I 
thought I would share it with all.

The info I received from the e-type owner who had just painted his car 
was that it was code HDJ, Line 22, Auxcode jbc 254.  It was Glasurit 
Acrylic Polyurethane.  I'm pretty sure, but not positive (it was 9 years 
ago) that I took this info to my local paint store and they mixed up PPG 
to match.  I don't have the original can so I don't have any PPG info, 
unfortunately.
