Steve Musial has been at it again. Here is a dead match for Powermatic Green, again from Porter Paints:
Porter Paints Pro-Master 2000 Oil Satin
124 Ultra Deep Base 20C 12E 2YS(or 5) 26V
Alan Ciemian had a Sherwin Williams Industrial Enamel color-matched to the small belt guard of his Powermatic 50 jointer:

It has also been reported that Pittsburgh Paints "Vista Green" is an excellent match for the OLD Powermatic green.
True Value Hardware stores sell "Vista Green" spray paint under their "Premium Decor" brand for those who would prefer to use a rattle can. It is a very close match to the OLD Powermatic green.
From a thread on the discussion forum from "stanleyiron" Steve: I repainted a 1972 Model 60 jointer, and in doing so tracked down the only paint store (not including auto paints) in all of Denver, CO that could mix a metallic color. Not all Sherwin Williams location scan do this, but here's the color number I have: F75KXG92-4386. I'm no color expert, but they matched it to the underside of a part that had never seen daylight, and I think it looks fabulous.
An excellent match for the 70's era metallic green is Rustoleum "hammered" #7211
Deep Green Hammered. Alternatively, Hammerite brand hammered dark green appears to be identical.
