    Ford Teal looks a bit more blue than green but can't be sure with only an image on a monitor to compare with.
    I used to be in printing and graphic art as well so I know the limitations of matching ink to paint.
    Love to get reasonably close, so unfortunately I may have to wait until shops re-open and I can take my swatch to either a paint store SCA.
    Would the panel supply stores do a rattle can colour match?
    Also, is one can of colour coat enough for the guitar?

    Yes almost every paint supply place can do rattle cans these days, particularly places that specialise in automotive finishing.Not especially cheap mind you.

    A 400g can is plenty for the colour coats. If you happen to find a Dulpicolour in the smaller 125g cans, it is enough, but I always seem to end up buying a second one to tidy up boo-boos.

    Just did a quick google and here is a place in Melbourne that does it. Looks like they'll even ship it so you might not need to wait for lockdown to lift. I'd contact them with what you are after and see what they say.
