Hey, guys! I'm just wondering if there is a spray can that will come close to this beautiful green color on this Buick.........

I'd really LOVE to be able to find it in a non-metallic, solid color, but if that's not possible a pearl or metal flake would work........

Thanks for any help!

If Tamiya has a shade of flat olive drab in the ballpark, you could cover it with clear gloss to get the shine.

If that Buick is a '60 it looks darker than Lucerne Green Poly, but it could be the lighting too. 

I had a similar thought, though wasn't thinking Tamiya specifically. It certainly would work if hitting/picking the right shade of drab.

Thank you all for the comments/suggestions! Looking around online, I found this Krylon paint that I may purchase here soon....... I'm working on something right now that I want to have a green interior. If I like the shade enough, it will get used on what I intend to paint this green...........

It's called Woodland Light Green. It being Krylon, I'll need to do some compatibility tests before I use it on anything..........

I used Testors semi gloss Lacquer over it and it worked fine..

That's cool! Hopefully it will stand up to the clear I want to use......... If not, I'll have to use the DupliColor 1K clear, which you can use over pretty much anything.
