68-69 was a lighter colored wood while 70 had a darker color.....

No idea where to get paint

I restored mine using various shades of stain as it was faded out badly but not cracked. I used a medium oak stain, followed by a darker gel stain and streaked it across with a foam brush to give the woodgrain effect, and then top coated it with three coats of satin poly sanding in between coats. I was not really going for a OEM look but I think it turned out rather nicely.
