original paint short bed side

I know this is a longshot but I'm looking for a light green original paint passenger side short bedside for my 70 swb project. The previous owner foolishly painted just the passenger side bed and lost all of that beautiful patina...
You can see in this picture it's just not the right color...

I would think that a good painter could get the color match closer than that.
Take it to some quality shops and see what they say.

Even if you do find an original paint bedside it may not match due to exposure and stuff.

I know that paint is only original once.

Maybe have one of the mods move this into the paint and body section.

Maybe you can get the PO's paint job off there somehow?
