Leaf Green

I think in 70-73 Leaf Green was code 218. Can anyone confirm, and might anyone have the formula to have this paint matched?
Thanks!

www.paintscratch.com lists it. Your local PPG dealer probably has it as well.

It was originally a Glasurit paint called Buschgruen. Here is link to the formula on their site.

Chris,

This may be a better link. These are Glasurit Color codes, formulas and samples from a paint guide manual. It covers the years 1966 to 1973, so scroll down to 1970 for leaf green (buschgrun).
