PPG Paint tinting code for signal red

Any body have the tinting list for signal red? This is for my 69 TR6. Paint code 32. I need it in PPG DBC or DBU base paint. Went to local store and their books did not go back that far. Best they could come up with is Torch Red. They gave me 4 oz and I sprayed a spot on the door and it's a little too red. Need a tinge of orange in it.
 
Re: PPG Paint tinting code for siginal red

Are you looking for a touch-up paint or for a respray? Acknowledging that red fades and changes colors over time in the sun, matching can be a challenge. My car is a custom-colored green (was supposed to be Emerald but they missed) and lost the code. An area PPG jobber had the computer color scanner and was able to shoot 4 different areas on my car in his parking lot. The resultant can of touch-up paint was spot on as far as a color match.
 
Looking at an over all spray. This is a complete restoration. I have a door off my TR250 that is signal red and it's been repainted probably several times. I thought about using the inside of the door under the panel where sun never gets to it do to the scan.
