Looking to do some touch-up on the new-to-me green Ram and was looking
for ideas on paint or nail polish that might work. The archives
mention Testors #1530 (so-so match) and a Sally Hansen polish but the
URL is dead. Any other good matches people have found?

Thanks

I used a Sally Hansen, Hard as Nails, Extreme Wear, nail polish that was a color called Emerald City, that I had my daughter pick up for me at Target.   Close enough for me.  Thing is, any touch-up is going to be 'on' the paint, so, you can tell, but, this is a metallic that blends in as well as I'd ever hope to.

Sally Hanson Hard as Nails Glow #3 is a pretty good match for my 1st
generation green Sam.

Looks like they discontinued Emerald City. The replacement is lighter
green. But the site assures me that I'll just love it. The search goes
on. Thanks for the lead.

eBay to the rescue for the Emerald City. Thanks again.

Was the Emerald City close enough for your tastes?

The bottle just came in. It looks pretty close but I'll get some on
the bike this weekend. Ended up being less that $6 shipped.

Thanks again for the tip.
