Well, thanks to all who replied.
A special word of thanks to Glen.
This is what is going on as of today.
Krylon #2018 Light Sage Satin is no longer in production.
The RustOleum Stone Creations has changed to another name and seems to be a 
very fine pattern.
It does not come close.
I did find a product made by RustOleum that comes very close.
It is called "Hammered" It only comes in black and gray.
I went with the black and it is drying as I write.
It looks great. Spray lightly to duplicate the original finish.
As to the green paint.
Sherwin Williams sells a unit called a Pre-Val for about $10.00 dollars.
They will mix the paint for me and all I have to do is put a small amount in 
the Pre-Val spraygun and I should be fine.
The Pre-Val unit has a small glass jar that you put the paint in and you 
attach an aerosol can to it and you can spray the contents of the jar.
The man at Sherwin Williams told me it's a great product.
We will see.
I would rather come close with a can of premixed spray but have had no luck 
in finding anything even close to "The Green" and I am not that picky Glen Hi 
Hi.
I will keep you fellows up to date and will share information.
But, it won't be until tomorrow.
Paint has to dry.
I must say this is fun so if you are thinking about doing it start on a small 
unit and go for it.
