As mentioned on the Paint forum, I took the hood to our auto parts store and they used their special camera placed right on the paint and sent the camera off to have the paint digitally analyzed.
Since the paint question seems to often get asked here, I'm posting here.
I have the paint now and it seems I was right in assuming that the previous restoration owner HAD chosen the correct Ford Grey for a Jubilee. The parts manager said that the camera recognized it as "Ford Grey".
So here is the paint type I chose and the data from the label they stuck on the can of paint they mixed up for me:
VALSPAR
852 SS Polyurethane (A)
[b:a9c50ceee1]852-145056 NF[/b:a9c50ceee1]
TERRAIN
2013 FORD USA (VA-7290)
P.S.
Before I took the hood in, I did a light cut polish and a waxing of it.
As I was walking through our village with the Jube hood, some young guys in a car at the stop sign said:
"Wow, Narly skateboard dude!"
