Found this on another site.

Teal Green (metallic)

Lacquer Source(s): DuPont 4297L, Ppg DDL12745.
Low VOC Source(s): DuPont 4297K.
Although this color was conceived in 1963 for the Ford Thunderbird, it wasn't called "Teal" until 1965 when it was used on the Lincoln Continental. Fender added "Green" to the name "Teal" to be more descriptive, thus creating "Teal Green". Used on 1963 Ford Thunderbird and 1964 Lincoln Continentals (Patrician Green), 1965 Lincoln Continental (Teal), 1964 Ford Thunderbirds (Riveria or Regal Turquoise), 1966 Mercury's (Turquoise Frost), and 1969 to 1970 Lincoln's (Medium Aqua).

Outfits like this (http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/makepaint2.cgi) will mix the color in acrylic lacquer and put it in a rattle can for you.

Not saying it's cheap...
