Sometimes you can get a paint color mixed at the auto parts store. Some have a machine that can analyze a paint color with a beam of light and mix a matching color. Ive taken several lanterns in for color matching. But the paint you get will need spray equipment to be applied.
Usually the bottom of the lantern has the best color because its not exposed to as much sunlight. Also they have a color chip book you can usually find a match in. I have a Dietz Night Watch that is in mint condition and unfired and the color is an orange yellow as compared to the newer yellow of the Air Pilots I have. My Air Pilots are older ones made in China,hope this helps you out. Harry W.
