British WW2 Military Paint

[the_tog]

Have had the pleasure to search this forum and around the net.

Question: What paint is the equivilant for 1943 era British Green (now for the clincher) that is available in the US.

I am restoring a bicycle and need to touch up my 43 BSA, so would love to find in spray cans.

Thanks,
Bill

That's a clincher indeed. If you want to touch up existing paint, I think your best bet is to have paint matched. No off-the-shelf rattle will match up with the paint on your bike.
