Looking for Paint help/info

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum although I have used this website often for information for years. Anyway I am in desperate need of paint help. My truck is Lt. Jade Green and Wimbeldon White (Paint Code RM) and I cannot get the green anywhere. I can't even get it mixed because I took to my local place where they have a color matcher and it couldn't match it. Any ideas anyone has are greatly appreciated. I am just painting a hood to match so the paint had to be very close. Thanks for any input.

Most any autobody supply store will have a 'profit' machine. It is held against the your paint and analyzes the current paint on your pickup and can make an exact match.

You will not be able to perfectly match your truck paint, even with a "custom mix" . If you have the original paint on it, there is no way to match "aged " paint. When a paint is over 5 years old, UV rays and the elements affecting the paint, make it hard to even get close. jmo
