Hi,

  Did you try Henningstrains.com, he has small cans of paints, which might

match.

This is what you're looking for. I have used a lot of his paint.  excellent color matches.

Please do not use the Trainenamel olive green on your #18 series cars... It is nowhere near a match to the original green.

I did a LOT of research into the olive green paint used on those cars and finally had to have paint custom matched. None of the toy train paint vendors had anything close and no pre-made spray paint I tested came close either (that includes Hennings).

I am an artist and have been mixing/matching paint colors all my life so mismathced colors really stand out to me.

I still have some PPG enamel I used to paint my 1912 era #18 set. If you just need a little for touch up contact me off list and I'll send you some. It'll be close...
