Pantone is for printer's ink. There would never be a cross-reference to automotive paint.

You could borrow a Pantone swatch book and attempt to find a match with your Moss Green paint, you might get a vaguely near match.

Whatever do you need a Pantone reference for?

Morning Keith

I wanted to get an exact colour match to Moss Green for PEA as I want her to have a perfect match to Jensen Moss green

I think you'd be better off with new paint swatches or, ask a paint shop to match your existing paint.
As Keith said, Pantone is for printers ink, so if you were trying to produce a print on paper, to match closely, you might be on to something :)
