I picked up a gallon of oil based tractor enamel that was supposed to be a match
for the Oliver line when Famliy Farm went under. Never saw an Oliver without
fadded paint, so I was surprised to see how close to BRG it was. Good old VOCs.
Tractor Supply Stores carry it.

them look up a 60-something Lotus green. Any photograph you have of it today is
subject to color distortion. Even a museum car is likely repainted with
something that was "pretty close."

Racing Green. Not the almost black, or metallic BRG that shows up on some cars,
but the darker shade of military green that Lotus had on it's open wheel formula
cars from the early '60s.
