Help with paint code

Dump truck season is starting to wine down now I'm thinking of repainting the truck sometime this winter so called a local parts store with my paint code.

Wasn't 5 min later they called me back saying that there is no such paint code so while on the phone with them I go back out to the truck and read it off the sticker on the glove box.

I hear him punching away on the computer again says no such paint code I call my dealer and he confirms that I have the right code.

I'm wondering if I have to buy the paint from my dealer or can someone know of a place I can cross the code over to a current code I don't want to spend the extra $$$$$ to get it from the dealer.

I have been searching the internet to find something on it and nothing shows up or is my code discontinued so I cant find it now.

The body paint is easy to find its the cab is what needs it the most top side of the hood who ever repainted it must of been drunk when they did it.

There are thin spots and runs all over the hood and doors so to do it right I want to sand it down and repaint it.

Truck 97 Freightliner FLD 12064SD

Color Purple Urethane

Paint Code N0509E

 

The wife reminded me that a former neighbor owns a auto body shop over the weekend I called him and gave him the paint code. Even he couldn't find it he called Freightliners head office to find out why even he couldn't find it. They changed the code and name of the color to AY96TH7 Prowler Purple Metallic. That code and color was only used for 6 months then it was removed so that's why no one could find the code. I don't know much about the scanner they use but he told me the scoring is from 0-200 mine was a 42 don't know what that means but he said the new paint will be a little darker.
