1952 Ford F3 paint code

I'm trying to confirm the original paint colors on this Canadian 1952 F3. I'm going to paint the new rims body color as that us what it looks like it came with.

I think it looks like it should be Glenmist green according to what I found on another site.

The card under the hood shows paint 39. But I can't find any reference that

Thanks Brent

Thanks Harley. I can't find any color chips or photos for that on the internet. You wouldn't have a picture i could see would you? Forest green sounds darker to me. Thanks Brent

I also have a Canadian 52 with paint code 39, and based on your pictures it looks like we have the exact same color. I've seen info here that it might be Forest Green, and in other places Lakewood Green. Both of those appear to be too dark in my opinion

Windsor Ontario 1952 F1 Paint Code 39
. I wasn't sure if I had original paint, but after seeing your pictures it looks like we both do.

Did you ever find a name/match that you were happy with?

Thanks!
