For what it's worth, even if you had the exact same paint out of the same can that the car was painted with, and you go to touch it up, it's not going to match.
Particularly with a metallic color.
You might want to try to find a local paint jobber ie a part store that mixes paints for body shops and see if they can mix it up in single stage for you.

Sorry i was thinking that the master cylinder was new and didn't read that properly. So you also have a piston with o-rings in your master cylinder as well so that could be. How old is everything?
Since you're able to open the line and the pistons release, it's probably not the caliper. Something is holding pressure somewhere.

One or both of 2 things. Either the calipers need rebuilt. Pistons are not retracting when pressure is released.  O rings have degraded not allowing the piston to slide properly .
Or rubber brake lines are collapsing on the inside not allowing the pressure to release.  When you opened the line it releases the pressure allowing the piston to back off.

Somewhere you've got something not allowing the pressure to release

Most of our rubber stuff made these days degraded much faster than the original from 60 years ago.

Just so you know in case you didn't, The 68 hood you have would be for a KR with the plenum underneath. I'm not up on the values but the plenum probably adds value over a non kr hood.

The African safari 350. Decaled up to look like a Zebra.  Roof rack with a spare tire on the roof. Steel wheels with snow tires on all 4 corners.  My favorite since my company is Zebra Stripes.

Dave,
Could you elaborate a bit about how you made your stencils?
Thanks!
So I own a company that does pinstriping, graphics, vehicle wraps, corporate advertising etc. I used masking tape over the opening and did a pencil rubbing, I scan that to my sign software and draw a vector pattern over that. I then cut a pattern in paint mask vinyl. I brought 3 of my wheels in and go back and forth making test fits and adjustments in the vector pattern to find the right balance of one or 2 patterns that fit the openings as best as possible. Probably went through 8 or 10 test fittings until I was happy. There are some consistent inconsistencies in how the centers were stamped out but there are some slight variations from wheel to wheel. We're talking 1/32 to 1/64 of an inch.

I don't know about the black but am confident this set was a satin / close to a semigloss when new on both sides
