Got it Saturday. Pastel Green. The guy at the counter said to mix in a quart of reducer (mid temp) to make almost 3 quarts of paint. I bought 2 quarts of paint and the one quart of reducer. I need more Bill 'cuz I am painting the interior and exterior surfaces a lighter color than original. Anyway, it started raining Saturday night so I just wiped everything down and closed up the shop until I can get home from work today to start painting. I tested a small area on the breakfast where the original color is and it's a spot on match.
I'll post a pix when I get done.

I used a little thinner--I think I got mid-temp, but you should get
hi-temp thinner (which they only sell by the gallon at said CarQuest--I
asked). Hi-temp will thin the paint for the longest time and make it
easier to brush w/o having problems with it getting tacky as you go back
for stroke #2. The stuff dries QUICKLY.
