Hi Bob,
Im sure there is one closer to you. But there is where I have gone. S & I Auto Color - Products

S&I Auto Color in Staten Island, not too far from you they're on the North Shore and to make the trip worth it you can stop at Deninos Pizza on Port Richmond Ave. for Lunch.... MMM!!

Ill ask my body shop guy where you could purchase as a DIY'er tomorrow.

Also from pics Im not so sure that the interior is Meadow Green.

John

thx John. SI is not really all that far, I go there often (when there’s no corona).

I’m pretty colorblind, plus the old color charts folks have scanned are faded, but I figured Meadow Green because that was the green available in 48. I plan to take one of the door panels when I go to get paint. Most places can do matching these days.

yes I heard you say you’re leaving the interior so if you match you’ll be fine. That’s a nice green color it looks to be.

Your welcome, I am over in Middlesex County but spend a fair amount of time out in your area. I also would go to their website, get the number and give them a call before you drive down there. I do not know if they serve individuals or is all business / account (body shop) based.

I found a sherwin Williams near me. They were really helpful and the prices were good. I bought etching primer, hi-fill primer and they matched my green by scanning the ashtray. It’s not Meadow Green like i thought, perhaps it’s Glade Green, but it doesn’t matter, I have a match.

i also bought a Husky HVLP spray gun and regulator.

time to start prepping. I hope to have everything at least primed before winter comes, but that’s probably not gonna happen.
