light green surround paint

Has anyone ever found a spray paint that resembles the light green surrounds as in a Philco 50-T701 and many others? Mine is flaked and easy to fix if I can match the original paint. I would settle for an old Studebaker color.

Some of the auto parts stores can scan the original paint and mix you a custom matching rattle can the way hardware stores do with house paint. If you can't find something close enough on the shelf this could be the ticket.

.

Go to an auto paint store, PGP, or Dupont, the people behind the counter can make
anything, and you can get a touch-up bottle, use a airbrush kit from harbor
freight with some reducer, and you can spray it better than new....
Get the single step paint. Bring the part match it in the book,
or they have a scanner that is pretty amazing.
