that is what mine looks like, it just seems the original paint has more green to it, i dont know if they changed the color, or the old paint formula looked more green with time and temperature.

If the '64 engine is the same color as a '67, here's a recipe right from Dupont. It's the correct Dupont turquoise paint recipe for '67 440ci. engines. 758 23.5 747 24.8 720 27.8 705 70.0 721 127.9 742 277.3 700 469.5 Still the correct mix for the Turquoise Paint Color....

The color may be off a little. I sprayed the Mopar rattle can paint on a panel and had it scanned by a PPG paint store. Then had them mix it in single stage urethane.   Mark Rapid Robert, Thanks for the complement. This thing needs to be at home in my 68 RR.  It's a mild 470" .

PPG DCC 47422 Medium Seafoam Green Add some DCX for a real nice glossy durable shine, or add some flatener for a more original non glossy look.
