Good day Jacques,
Just as a matter of interest, what happens if you give a small patch of the green a hit with some cutting polish? I think it will come up even closer to your chip. Ken

Transmission colour Ford CMP truck
Hi Ken,
Will give it a go. Will put the bite on my neighbor for some cutting compound. He is restoring a '69 Camaro so should have some. In my restoration I don't use it. Just happy if I can spray paint without getting sags or runs. Although I have seen a few original factory runs so maybe I shouldn't care! Will post results. Cheers,

Hi Ken,
Well I gave it a cut as shown in the area above the chip. Not any appreciable change in colour. A fair bit of green and brownish colour came out in the rag. The patch I cut with cutting compound was pretty sparsely painted to begin with too. The new paint is definitely darker. I would still say the original colour has just changed a bit with age, heat, grease, mud, and cleaning with kero. Cheers,

Thanks for going to the trouble of doing the polish thing.
It certainly is close and you would be correct with the colour degradation due to the factors you list. Ken
