I have a 68 coupe that is the lime green color. It is in need of a paint job to make it show quality but I'm not able to have that done just yet. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get that color of touch up paint just to get me by for awhile. There are a few notches out of the paint from the previous owner (probably his kids) and I would like to fill them in with something. Any ideas???Thanks everyone!!

Given that the paint has probably faded a little, I suggest you use the standard touch-up painter's job and remove the flap covering the gas cap and take it to the paint shop, and get them to mix you a can. Only problem is you don't have a flap on your gas cap 
How about taking ... erm ... the trunk lid??? I can't think of anything easier to remove!

A painted bumper guard, a headlight trim ring, a quarter panel end cap...
Or you could go to a model hobby shop and get a few small bottles of enamel. Get some that you think are close to the right color, plus get a bottle of white and a bottle of black to tint with. Put a few drops on the bottom of a soda can to mix and test. Cardboard matches make good little touch-up brushes, they are plentiful and disposable.
