If I want to get "close enough" with the color (USMC Forest Green Semi Gloss - 24052), but more durable like the modern paints, what should I consider?

I have done quite a bit of searching and talking to different paint stores and have come to the conclusion of Dupont industiral paint. Its not the cheapest paint at $60 a gallon but it holds up quite well, no fading, drys hard as a rock. Im gettin mine from Carquest here in michigan, i drove my duece over there and he matched it the best he could by eye and it was to light so he kept darkening untill i was happy. havent painted anything with it but a small sample piece, got to wait for +0 degrees.
