1966 - Green Interior Console Paint

[Steven J.]

I'm refreshing the painted area of the console fork of my 1966 coupe with the dark green interior. Looking for guidance on the best/correct paint to use and where to source the paint. I've been online with the main parts suppliers and see many of them have rattle-can interior trim paint in green that they say is good for use on the metal consoles. Are these the correct shade of green and do they adhere well to the metal if the fork is prepped properly ?

Looking to get it right for judging next year.
Thx for the help

Steven - I haven't tried the spray paints available from our Corvette Vendors so can't really say if they are a good match or not but
a few years ago, I needed to get some Dark Green interior paint when my 66 Mosport Coupe was getting painted and
went to a local auto paint dealer and had some made up based on the radio side panels. The enamel paint they put together for me is
close but a tad bit darker than I expected but that's just my take on it.
I used it mostly for the painted upper door surrounds. Probably not much help but here's a couple pics of the bulk cans I had made up.
And, sorry for the sideways pics, that seems to happen 50% of the time I post on the NCRS site and no 'correction' to the original pic ever makes it better.
Never heard of Omni paint before but when you see the backside label, you'll see they are part of PPG.IMG_1812.jpgIMG_1813.jpg
