What is the color of myCenturion Ironman Master
I haven't been able to find this green color to touch up my Centurion. Anyone know where to get the correct color. Here it is when I first got it. I have gone all through it and now need to get the green for touch up. The photo is not the true color. The green is deeper green,very odd shade. The cabling was pink under the handlebar tape.

You're likely going to not find that color, in paint, anywhere. You may have some luck having an auto paint supply shop custom mix it for you. Or, you may be able to make your own.
Ray Dobbins has an excellent "How To" article about how to match paint on his website.

Thanks for the input guys. The bike is darker than the picture. I paint model aircraft and will continue to mix paints untill I hit a combination that works. The 1955-56 ford T-Bird was close to this color. I make my own color for model aircraft,here is one I just did.

does it have tiny bits of metallic flake in it when you look at it closely? I suspect my Diamondback is the same color since DB and Centurion are the same company

this might be a super stretch, but a way you might be able to get close to the color is if you've got a DSLR, a good photo editing program, and a color calibrated monitor. take a good picture of the bike in a well lit room, import the photo and get a CMYK color code. then it's just a matter of finding a place that'll mix colors according to internet colors xD. haven't the slightest clue how to deal with metal flake density in the paint though.

Auto paint stores have those cameras, and can take a shot and give you a paint code, mix formula, the whole deal.
If it's just touch-up, pull the fork and take it to a beauty supply and look for the nail polish.
