I know that there are different colors on the elevated subway supports, but I want to paint my system the ODOT Green that many of them were (are).
Is this one close?
Thanks,
John

that's a good choice. The human eye can perceive more green shades than any other color.
I use this color
Less the rust. This color is what I am after: (From Getty Images)
You can see the color of mine from this old build photo.

John,
Take a look at Eric Siegel's video-tutorial on salt weathering. He used this same Satin Moss Green. Good pictures of the outcome. Episode 37 at 16:03.

Thanks Bob,
I'll do that.

I use and recommend Rustoleum spray paint Satin HUNT CLUB GREEN
Thanks Jim,
I know they darkened the green on the els over the years. I should have mentioned in my OP that I actually have your system which I bought from Gary Noel when he took it down. I haven't tried piecing it together yet. Hopefully you still sell the parts I am probably missing. It is still in the natural masonite finish right now so I am going to spray paint the parts before I try to assemble them.
