Mutz:
Hope you can all help me here!!!

I am at the point of buying paint for my rebuild, original colour is coniston green, unfortunatley the supplier can not get this in celulose and has shown me another green which is available; it is not as dark as original.

what i am after is pictures of green defenders so i can see what differences there are and if i like the shade, would be helpful if you have the colour name as well but not most important.

Ive tried to google the colours in the landrover paint charts, but only get 1 or 2 on landrovers. Oh and non metalic only please. Unless some one knows a web address of colour charts for land rovers, with the actual

colour.

This would be great as i dont want to chuck my money on a green that doesnt look right.

Thanks in advance,

Looking at colours on-line is useless. There are so many variables, but mainly how your monitor is set up. You need to see the actual colour chips to judge.

In any case, you know you really want it bright red  :lol:

Saffy:


that's landrover epsom green, it's a pearlescent paint that supposed to have a clear top coat. Kinda looks black into photos and in the flesh too unless up close. Halifords sell it in spray cans - would be interested to know if auto paint shop could mix it up too.

Mutz:
Saffy, getting epsom green is not a problem; but not in cellulose only in 2K.
Which then involves breathing equipment and an oven and filtration before expelling into the great outdoors; i liked the look of Epsom green but cant spray it myself.

Steve, which part of green didnt you understand,mate!!!!! LOL ( Red!!!!!!!!! huh)

I know the colour wont look the same on here as in the flesh, but the colour swatches arnt big enough to imagine your 90 in the same colour, and i dont want to spray it and find i hate it!!!

If all else fails it will end up white.

V8MoneyPit:
Nooo, not white  :shocked: ..... unless you put blue and yellow chequer stripes down the side and drive up the A47 at 28mph to see how long a queue you can generate  :lol:

Try www.jawel.co.uk. They are very good with older paints (cellulose, etc.) and well priced. I got my primer and thinners from them.
