Jade green metallic

I'm still searching for a source for this paint. I think it's called light jade green metallic and I believe there is a dark variant. My door paint code is "Y", but if you buy this color it's an oddball light green with no metallic. I find the same thing at the online paint stores. It may look like Jade and say Jade but you get the same old paint. I think the wrong color might be called Poly green.

Try to have NAPA match it and they didn't come close for $160 a quart with thinner and hardener.

Some where over the years this color got mixed up.

Any ideas?

The color is indeed Jade Poly code Y. You might have to have your automotive paint store mix up a sample from '78.

Skip NAPA, and try one of these type places for your paint. I just googled "Albuquerque automotive paint supply".

That's not all of the colors, just the page that includes the info on Jade metallic. Hatteras Green metallic is color code 8.
