(41912 mi) Re-PAINT!

Before leaving Illinois, my car needed a re-paint.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the $4000+ to have it properly stripped and re-painted, so Jesse and I bought a bunch of Rust-o-leum Gloss Hunter Green.
A few days before on a warm November and December day, I applied fresh paint with brush.  Succeeding days, I sanded and re-sanded the car surface.
For the final coat, we bought spray cans and tried to create a nice smooth surface for the final shine.  Overall, it wasn't a bad solution since the original paint had failed to cover the metal and protect it from oxygen.  Since that time, there have been no appearances of rust or any other failure.  Thankfully, Los Angeles cars live a long life on poor paint jobs, and my car doesn't stick out as much as I feared.   Still, the car needs a total strip and new paint job.  There's no city in the U.S. that could have a better opportunity for a new, quality, and cheap paint job.  Let's just say that immigrant labour is not too pricey.  :)
   I did a bit of a search to find the right colour for the car.  For instance, I have the color codes for lacquer and enamel specifically for the 1951 Chrysler (as shown below).  I even found out the Dulco (202-55818) and Dulux (181-10482) for the Continental Green Metallic, but not even that information was useful to find the right color in modern paint.

In the end, I just went to a automotive paint shop and examined the available colours and ended up with the code below.
