Scott posted a photo of a coupe with Graphite Metallic paint (see first two photos. I really like this color, but I also like Jade Green Metallic (third photo). I'd appreciate it if anyone could post a photo of a speedster with this color, or post a link.
Thanks

This may be Radium Green. This "number" published (535510) resulted in NO hits on the "chassis/registry", but the last 3 numbers, "510" are Radium Green on the early Porsches. Don't know if this is an accurate conclusion!
(There is another green that appears to be deeper, "Jade", which this picture actually seems to emulate. At least to my 62 y/o eyeballs)

Guys, thanks for all the responses. Boy, it's hard to tell what a color will look like based on a paint sample.
Scott, I found that site just after I started this thread. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a photo of Jade Green Metallic. The Jade Green (5405) was only offered in 1954-55.
Another color I'm considering is Slate Gray (6001), which was offered from 1960-65

Whatever you finally decide on, get a painter who really knows his stuff; try to run down the actual compound (formula?) that was originally used if that is possible; including the primer. Research extra steps involved re: painting fiberglass. I'm no professional painter, but those who know say it's all about prep. I'm sure everyone will pleased to see your results! SS
