General ROTJ Paint Help!

Last year I sold most of my armour as I needed the funds quite urgently. I've decided to start again but I'm tackling the painting myself this time as I really can't afford to pay the many brilliant painters in this community
I'm using rattle cans as I've never painted before and even though I'm in the UK, I've managed to acquire most of the paints listed on StormtrooperGuy's ROTJ sticky thread including Testors Dullcote.
The only paint I DON'T have is Hunt Club Green. I've got Spruce green.

My question is, can I paint my armour effectively without Hunt Club Green??
Also, which is the main colour - Spruce Green or Hunt Club?
I've scoured the threads to try to work this out but I'm a little confused as to which green applies to which layer.

Any help (and advice on a UK substitute for Hunt Club Green) would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Straight from stormtrooperguy's "ROTJ rattle can paint up" , your best bet if you can't find "hunt club" green is see if there is a cross over for it to a humbrol color . I used humbrol 76 and 78 mixed 1:1 as per DVH then weathering and darkening over top . I did ESB but I'm pretty sure ROTJ armor color is basically the same
 
Spruce green is the accent color. Hunt Club green it the main color. Just go to the paint store and find the one that is closest to Hunt Club. Pull up a picture on your phone or print it out and just match up the best you can. I found the greens on the armor were the easiest to manipulate. They are not contrasting with as many other colors like you have on the helmet.

Thanks Mullreel, that was what I needed to know. Much appreciated
