3. Dark green, either BRG or Ford's '66 Ivy Green metallic
4. Blue - not sure which shade, but my previous ERA was Guardsman Blue
5. Silver
114. Beige
I agree that 3357 is perfect! I will throw my opinion at your mix regarding green. I would strongly suggest that you go DARK BRG, and not use Ivy Green Metallic. This car looks absolutely killer in dark green, but the metallic changes things a lot and takes away from the period look IMO. My experience with dark BRG is that it often looks nearly black, so you can have your cake and eat it, too. You get choice 1 and 3...sort of. Here's a shot of ERA 488 for further inspiration.
