Need paint color - Green 1997 SE
The title pretty much says it all, but I'll elaborate.
My 1997 Bonneville SE has a number of scratches in the paint, the biggest being the entire area under the bra that came with the car and the passenger'* side mirror, which looks like someone sideswiped it.
I'm going to run to Autozone and pick up some green paint, but what'* the exact color of green that I should look for?

There'* nothing about my paint color on my spare tire cover, just some spare tire information and detailed instructions on how to change a flat.

Well then, I found the label in my trunk, but it'* got about five or six lines of numbers. How do I decipher the paint code from that?
The bottle I baught has the code "NG GM 440" on it. In addition, it also says "Bright aqua met. / 43, WA 9796, 243A / General Motors," if that'* relevant.

I just bought a 6 oz. spray can yesterday because I have a brand new driver'* door mirror to instrall. Got to paint it though.
Make sure you get the clear coat spraycan too, otherwise it warns you that the color won't match up as exact as the finish. And or course oxidation, weathering, fading paint, etc.
My car is the light gray metallic so fading doesn't seem to be an issue.
