Black Paint Code - '53?

I gave NAPA the code M-30J-1724 for "Raven Black", which is the color, I believe, that my bumpers and running boards are painted. They can't find the code. Can anyone provide a correct code for this black paint?

Just has to be close -- this is far from a concours restoration project!

more than likely just plain ol' black will do, just offa the top of my head is GM code 43
most paint suppliers have just a basic black available factory pack, this tinted black nonsense really hasn't taken off in earnest untill the past couple of years.

Agreed. When I got my single stage urethane couple weeks ago, the shop said most all blacks now are "universal". It matches my black laquer perfectly.
