Searching for a paint -code, 80's Pinarello

Searching for a paint -code, 80's PinarelloThis is not my frame - just a picture I found, trying to replicate this 80's vintage Pinarello color, a factory hue. Of course it's "Olive" but since color is subjective, I would say it has a bit more yellow in it, is a bit lighter brighter than, say, army-olive. All this means nothing to my painter though he needs a paint code. My Traviso is black but I like this green much better, any way it needs a repaint since its been repaired. Posted this awhile back in Frame Builders and got lots of great information but thought to try here with you vintage-folks.

Would like to match this paint on my frame. ( Not my frame pictured, tho wish I had bought it now when I saw it on ebay last year..)


Same frame different angle. The painter uses a Dupont paint/product.
