help with paint codes / colours 49 built 50 model

[incisor]

i take it that the chassis and body are painted the same colour from what i have read.

i am hoping to get some Alkyd enamel mixed up to do chassis and panels so am wondering, do we have a code for the darker green that i believe i should be using on millicent?

that said

looking at the existing paint on the chassis it has a lighter green layer about the same as the green on the 4291 workshop manual cover, with a darker coat much closer to dbg over the top of that.

TIA

Perhaps that older light green that the first few we're painted?

Older chassis repainted !! ie the light green the first few we're ?

There are some numbers you can track down but it seems that as pigments (suppliers) change over the years the formulation has to be adapted.
Best to take a sample in and get it matched.

Just going through the same exercise with a SIII.
