You mentioned that you liked the dark green metallic paint you found behind the splash pan.
That is very likely the F8 Dark Metallic green (or Ivy Green Poly depending on whether it was a Dodge or a Plymouth)that was on a LOT of Mopars in 68-70. You also said you might use a GM color because it was 'Readily Available'. I recently painted my 69 FB in the F8 Dark metallic green and I got my paint from a place called TCP Global (Tri Cities Paint. Look them up on the internet. They will mix any color from any car/year you want, and their prices are very Reasonable. I have used Dupont, PPG and other name brand paints, and I would compare their house brand (I bet it is a PPG product, since they are PPG dealers) to any paint I have ever used. Check out the results:

The car has been painted for almost 9 months now... too late! Mine is '68. The color code is GG1; F8, F9 etcetera did not come on cars until '69. The paint I went with is WA9529. The old paint was an Enamel. The car is not a restoration project. I wanted a base coat / clear coat polyurethane paint job. When you change to the base coat / clear coat the colors look different. This GM paint code looks very close to the original. If you put them side by side you probably would not be able to tell the difference. I also have the benefit of being able to pick up a touch up pen from the auto parts store if needed.
