I have a '95 emerald green also- you will find the paint code on the hood
of the engine compartment. I would have the items professionaly painted.
With as large pieces and numerous items they can spray all the pieces at the
same time and they will color match to make sure they are the same. If they
don't turn out correct you can have them do it over. If you did it you are
not only out of paint, but you are out of time, patience,costs of supplies
and if you haven't done automotive painting before(I have), you will find
that you need more supplies to do a great job than you think : quart of
color paint,reducer,fish eye,clear coat,primer(yes it's needed for paint to
not flake off),tack cloths,sand paper(220 and 400 grits),compressor,quality
spray gun, and about 2 days worth of your time if you don't have a bake oven
for curing.-- so you see-let the pros do it.
