Mine was Dodge Truck Dark Green (which PPG's research unit said they did not have a match for, then blue then red then light green.
Then bare metal / primer looking for paint.
I had the PPG spectrophotometer measure a patch of original dark green on my 1953 B4-PW. Made up a gallon and it matches *very* well with some traces under the vent windows. I'll be happy to share the paint formula if you like.
The dk green is sorta like the old park ranger dk green if that helps. I'll send you a photo if you're interested.
If you're doing a base coat / clear coat, you may want to add an additive to dul the clear a little; it does not look like a 1950's paint job.
