How to match green paint color for a 1970 CT1 was created by nersasian

I've used the search tool here to see if anyone has mentioned the color code and where to get it for a 1970 CT1 and nothing came up. I bought some from someone on ebay and I just started spraying it today and the candy green color is way to light to match the CT1. It looks more like the candy green on a honda CT70. 

Does anyone have  the correct color?

Thanks.

It appears to me the posts with the CT1b (and some other) paint matches are victims of sabotage.  I may have the CT1b paint matches saved someplace.  If I can find it, I will post it.

What you have might work...  candy colors often need multiple coats to get the shade you want.

Anyway, here is the recipe posted here a few years ago:
