Default "HELP" HPI CUDA body-lime/green using Pactra spray???

I want to paint a HPI Dodge CUDA body that same stock "Lime/Green" color like the one they post on HPI web. site.
I want to paint it using (Pactra spray cans). Has any one used Pactra spray cans to get this same color{Lime/Green}??
*What Pactra can colors did you use??
*What color should I spary first on the body??
*How close will or did it come to the stock Cuda lime/green color??
Thanks..

Hi, Go to HPI web site. At HPI site, click on Bodys on the right.
The New CUDA body is seen by clicking on bodys for Savage. there are about 10pics.

Hey man! Trying to help you find greens for your Cuda. I know you're probably looking for more of a limer green, but this is what I've found thus far, if you haven't already! Good luck!!

Parma FASKOLOR "fasfluoresent green" backed with white wil probably give you a very close match the the Cuda color you want.

Thanks all!!
No I did not get to painting the CUDA yet. I did try Parma fluoresent green back with white and then tryed backing it with Yellow on some spare clear plastics to see how it would come out.
But the fluoresent green is just to bright.
I seen this at towerhobbies: Tamiya PS-8 Polycarbonate Light Green Spray for R/C bodys.
Looks like the right color.
