green paint

Post by **les** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 9:51 pm

I know we've been here a few times, but would like to find a engine paint outlet that stocks a reasonably accurate shade of green, any clues please?

I believe its correct shade was called Brunswick Green, I think Dennis has a set of the colour chips ? if so can you see if its listed with the ICI code if so I will make a sticky post if its correct.
Just done a quick search and it appears there are 3 shades of it

So presumably go to your nearest paint wholesaler who deals with the public, quote the BS number and they will mix a 1/4 litre?

I assume any gloss paint or plant enamel will be ok for the engine?
Whats the nearest B&Q paint shade?

I used Bull Motif's 'original engine paint' TIN 103.

Thank...I want to spray the engine so was looking for the paint code or even the name of the paint. regards Keith

Keith, they do it in spray can also but i cannot say whether the colour of the can is the same as the tin- never tried it.

I've just done a cylinder head in ESM's engine enamel and I think it looks fine!

Now you mention it, it does seem a little light.

Post by **les** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:23 pm

Yes, the paint they supply in tins is a bit too bright, not sure if they sell a different shade in aerosol.

Post by **aupickup** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:30 pm

hello les the sparay tins are all the same, the brush on one is slightly darker, why not try the brunswick green, or the other colour is from land rover and is the correct shade
