Oh my! Beautiful Connie! That color over here was called Garland green (the lower half) (my favorite shade of hoover green!) The pale green... Not sure on that one. | ||

ryry,
any auto paint store will be able to match the colour, Just take them a sample , , try and find a piece under a handle or inside that hasn't faded, I would suggest having it media blasted first, however you will normally have to buy half a litre of it. They can also make any colour you want too. You other option is powder coating and they should be able to get the colour mixed there two I did this with a old BVC I am restoring. Gareth | ||

we have looked into getting powder coated but we was a bit worried about undoing the rivets etc. Is it difficult to do? | ||

swedish green connie. Hello, I would suggest a specialist car paint supplier who would blend the paint and fill an aerosol can(s) for you. I managed this for a 1334A junior using such a supplier, but it is only fair to warn you that it is not a cheap way of achieving a 'near as damn it' result. Regards, Walter, Newport, Shropshire. | ||

Dremel works great;hand piece works best unless you slip. But if you're going to repaint, no big deal. Kevin | ||
