Dupont Centari. But you'll have to go to Phoenix to get it. Also ask your booth owner if you can shoot it there, if CARB checks it regularly you may not be able to shoot it anyway.

Centari is THE best single-stage paint. Get Mar-Hyde gloss hardener and you have the equivalent of urethane finish that will last more than 10 years outdoors. Even better, you can wet-sand and polish the day after shooting. It's easy to patch and blend, chip patch, and shines like glass. I've been using it for 40 years.

I was actually able to get a pint mixed and shipped over via my sister in Phoenix. It matches exactly to my 35 year old 'colorado beige' car. I wouldn't change the color for nuttin'. LOL.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. And you've gotten some good advice here - only color change if the car is completely stripped, otherwise it's a patched mess. The factory paints the cars before they finish them and that's the only way you can duplicate that.
