I'm trying to find the factory color for the 1968 Dodge Charger called Medium Green Metallic. I've checked Testors, Dupli-Color, and Rustolium. I heard a long while back of a company that makes paint colors for models, but I can't remember the name. Any help would greatly appreciated.

This is a photo of the color:

I believe this may be the color you're looking for. Or at least very close. This is MCW (Model Car World) #6858 1969 Dodge "Avocado Green" His website says this was basically the same color from '68-'70. Looks very close to me. I'm using this on a future '69 Coronet build. Steve

A Local paint shop supplier mixes aerosol cans for me and I decant some to airbrush into the cracks and crevices before I use the can to spray the rest. A 369 gram (Full size can) costs a bit over 20 bucks and comes with extra nozzles with patterns of different sizes and shapes. I opt for the base/clear system as I like things really shiny. Keep in mind that if using a metallic colour, the 1:1 metallic flake will be larger than scale model metallic paint...
