Default Looking for a CAN of Pactra Aero Gloss Cessna Green Dope

Like the title says, I'm looking for a Pint or Half-Pint can (8 or 16oz) of vintage Pactra Aero Gloss Cessna Green Dope. Looking for same in Silvaire Aluminium as well.

Always looking for ANY Quart Cans of Aero Gloss Dope in any color but Stearman Red.
I have enough Stearman Red to paint an entire full-scale Stearman.

ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

A lot of civilian Stearman Biplanes are painted Stearman Red.

I know, but it's fun to contradict you.

I can get modern Randolph dope from them or Brodak.
I'm looking for a vintage Pactra Aero Gloss CAN of the Cessna Green dope for a collection.
Even an empty can will do but it has to be either a 8oz or 16oz can.
I have it in 1oz and 4oz jars. I have enough of the small jars and spares to fill the can.

I went to a hobby shop (Penn Valley in Lansdale PA) and they had entire wall in the free flight and RC section of Pactra Cans, large and small. The owner was a distributor as well as someone who bought the contents of hobby shops going out of buisiness so the place was overflowing, even into the basement of the store. Unfortunately the owners wife died then the owner a few years later and the shop closed so I don’t what happened to them.
