BMC Almond green spray paint - where can I find some?

Post by CDYMOGGY »

Hi all, I'm looking to replace the front bumper on my 1965 Almond Green morris minor. It's bent. I have a few replacements in the garage but none of them are green. So I'm looking to spray one. But I'm having trouble finding the paint in spray cans. Does anyone know of a supplier in the Peterborough area? Also need to do a few minor touch ups in places.

Any help would be great. Cheers, Dan

Hi,
Your link seems dodgy BMC.
Try this:

(Hopefully that worked.)
Best wishes,
Mike.

It didn't-
It might be a better idea to have the paint matched/scanned as the chances are that the rattle can will not match. Almond green is difficult and I found that even matched paint is not spot on.

Hmmm - usually the Bully link to the 'basket' works - and it did at the time -I tested it. But not now.... But be assured Bull Motif have the paint and will 'Courier' it to you. Probably as well to order a couple of cans to spread the carriage cost. As Declan reports - you may be able to get colour matched cans made up locally - some Halfords branches offer(ed?) this service. Take an easily removeable part along for colour matching purposes....

Strange, it's working again now, however I couldn't get into the links for the 1/4 panel repair sections I posted up yesterday, yet I always test my links after posting and they worked then. Very odd.
Here is the text from Bull Motif and the part number if that helps:

Part No: CAN108
Description:
Almond Green Spray Paint 400ml
