Vehicle ID tag states code #3 for my 1940 LaSalle paint color. Anyone have a source for smaller quantities of paint ...enough to do engine compartment?????

Brad Ipsen CLC #737

Paint code #3 in 1940 is Cavern Green.  Here is a modern formula in PPG Singe Stage (DCC) for one quart.

For 1 quart as follows:

Tinting Guide: DCCD1 H
DMC927   78.0
DMC921   143.3
DMC901   189.8
DMC937   650.8
