Goodwood Green Starmist

anyone have a paint formulation (or code) for this colour? I'm trying to match the colour of a 1970 Epic GT (Canadian Viva GT), and as you can imagine, there are few paint suppliers here that even know what a Vauxhall Viva is. I have a factory paint chip chart for 1970 Vauxhalls (albeit in German - I think), showing "D 4208" next to the colour, and "A 15 metall, A 26 lasurgelb, A 18 dunkelgrun, A 1 schwarz" as the formulation - which as far as google translate works tells me it's A 15 metallic, A 26 yellow glaze, A 18 dark green and A1 black, but unfortunately none of that information means anything to the local paint suppliers I've tried here (PPG and Dupont). Any help would be appreciated.

Every paint manufacturer has their own paint formulas so if you find some information you must go to the actual manufacturer to find correct paint.
There is no standard whatsoever when it comes to formulas so if your paint chip and formula is from Glasurit you must ask Glasurit.
If you do not know the manufacturer it is not much help.
The goodwood green colour code for 1970´s Viva GT is 5GN

It is still listed at Glasurit, check:
