Local garage ordered it In apparently Comes direct from subaru.
It's weird if you apply it to a dark background it dries white but on a light background it dries mint green even looking in the tub it's defo green.

I would try a actual subaru dealer or get a reputable
paint company to make some up as its entirely possible
the garage you are getting it from is using a mixer that's
not getting it quite right.

Been wracking my brain for their name, I used them when I had
my classic, they made up a green (64c) metallic for me and it
was spot on.
