Rustoleum Painter's Touch Jade.
It's not exact, but probably the closest you will find in a mass produced spray can. If you're like me and don't like for your truck to look like the primered project that it technically is, and have relatively small areas to cover, this will do the job nicely until you get to the serious paint job.
The down side is, I think it may no longer be produced because I can't find it anywhere locally and people selling it want almost twice as much as other Painter's Touch colors. It still beats the price of the base/clear you can get in a spray can. I got some from Amazon.

I took pictures but it actually came out more blue looking in the pics. Plus my turquoise is dull and faded, anyway.

Nice find man. I will be anxious to hear how it holds up. This is exactly what I've been looking for on my interior! Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if I would use it for the entire interior. Like I said, it's not quite a match so if you do the interior with it and then have the outside painted the right color, it will not match. You definitely will see the difference. I think it is good for a "close enough" temporary coating.
There is also a significant difference in the cost for real car paint and I am certain the real stuff will be better in the long run.

I got it out of the garage today and the camera works better in natural light. Looks much better than primer or another color that isn't even close.
For reference, you can see the same spot in satin black:

If someone is just looking to touch up nicks or small scratches, there's always women's nail polish. Lasts really long and available in a million colors.
