I'm looking for a spray bomb match to either of Dodge's 68  FF-1 Light green poly or TT- Medium green Poly. Something in Testors or Tamiya line preferably. Anybody know of anything? 

Later-

I would check MCW. It would be exact and I think they still do spray cans. Most cans on the shelf are 8 or 9 dollars anymore, plus MCW's cans go further. My thinking is what is a few extra bucks compared to the kit cost and time invested in building.

If I recall correctly, MCW no longer offers spray cans.

Don’t remember where I heard that, and it’s certainly worth checking into, but I believe it is the case.

I know this does not answer your question, just posting for inspiration.

Scale Finishes has those colours 60s Dodge (scalefinishes.com)

I've never used either manufacturer's offering, so I can't personally attest to the quality, etc.  Like you, I employ Tamiya aerosols (at least 97% of the time) -- too bad that the paint chips are such poor representations of the actual colours. 

Here's the direct link to Tamiya USA's site's aerosol paints Shop / Tamiya USA

I can vouch for both MCW and Scale Finishes!!

Both produce EXCELLENT acrylic lacquers, and some enamels as well. 
But, unfortunately, I don’t think either one offers paint in spray cans anymore.

But, I might be wrong, so check out their websites.

If they do still offer spray cans, they come at quite a price!

Let’s just say that for the price of 4 or 5 cans, you could buy a nice airbrush, and then your paint searches would be over! ?

This is a shot of a ‘69 Coronet I did some years ago in MCW Mopar, F-Code, “Light Green Poly”.81BF6A29-88F8-4269-BD05-7A518BAAF366.jpeg.8bb68814cec84f14b66c479fc55986f7.jpeg40146840-7B77-4DFB-AB30-B7613450208F.jpeg.48c83b45c234b102213e87bb3c555a5a.jpeg
