Here you go MarkT: 
The Candy Green was used on the 1970 CT1B, 1972 LT2, & 1972 LT-M. [
If you surf the internet you will notice many different shades of Candy Green. To get a good match to the OEM paint is to use NOS Parts that are not faded.
I received some messages asking how many coats I used. The Candy green color will vary with thickness. More coats will make it darker, less coats lighter. I am not going to discuss "how to paint", drying times between coats, distance from part when spraying, or rate of spraying speed. If you want a good paint job, I would recommend reading, studying, & asking questions. There are more qualified people then I on this subject. Find what methods and technique's work for you. Mako made a good DIY paint thread HERE. It is a good thread with lots of great advice, I do a couple area's slightly different.
In my humble opnion.....Lance Speed has the best DIY spray paint I have seen here. His DIY thread is located here
Paint used:
Sandblast old paint off
remove dents, use body filler
full cure
Duplicolor self etching primer ---- 2 coats
Duplicolor white primer ---- 2 coats
Duplicor flat black (Guide coat) to catch high/low spot imperfections. --- 1 very light coat dusting
full cure. sand off flat black
Duplicor white base --- 4 coats
full cure
Tape off stripes with moto dad 3m pinstripe tape. post # 24
Duplicor metal cast ground coat (Metallic Flakes) --- 3 coats
Duplicor metal cast Green Anodized MC203 --- 4 coats
Full cure
Apply Decal to oil tank
Clear coat of your choice. I prefer spraymax 2k as its gas/oil resistant and very high quality. --- 4 coats
1500-2000 grit Cut, buff with compound, wax.
Some what related: If you are needing anything powder coated send me a PM.
