I have ran into paint code issues myself. There are so many codes out there that I don't know who or what to believe. I don't have a Martin Senour store any where close and Dumont's MS codes don't cross reference to Dupont. I agree with you that this info should be available to members. The HPOCA in it's principle's says it will help in the restoration. I'm not sure whose toes we would be stepping on, and I really don't care. We should help those who are restoring. I'm not interested in all this political jargon. This organization need to help us. I sent a PM to Pres. Andy on this and all he wanted to know if I would volunteer to take this on. Tells me to take a chip sample to paint store to be scanned. Some tractors don't have any paint left on them! Chris was more interested in helping it seemed. 
I did find this on the web and forwarded it to Chris:
