Limestone vs Classic Cream

Be aware that modern "Limestones" can be quite green. There's a mitsubishi magna color of the same name that's nothing like it when finished and dried. but in the pot it looks the goods.

It seems that Magnolia is about the right colour but supposedly only comes in a matt finish from Dulux. I picked another colour that is hard to differentiate from Magnolia but will be done in gloss. Name escapes me but will return when I pay for the job.

Pick them up next week.

Plan to do the ute roof and safari panel in Limestone. It probably was Limestone originally but has faded to a chalky white.

It certainly is available in gloss, but maybe they didn't have any and didn't want to buy a whole box for one job. Good to hear they had a similar colour available though. :)

Hello again.

The operator I took the wheels to is a pretty straight shooter by reputation so I trusted his advice.

But, I can also see that the chart you posted has Magnolia as a gloss colour. However, the Dulux wall chart that I was shown had it listed as matt.....

Anyway, the colour we agreed on also looks the goods. So, here's hoping.

Cheers,

here are the two colours i found on my series 2, the outside we know is just white paint from bunnings or the like.

the inside we are more confident in saying is original or very close to original colour.

i am taking this panel into my local paint shop to get them to colour match it if they can't find the colour code.

will go through this thread with them also to show them what you guys have found.

going off the DURALLOY chart i would say the bottom pic in my photo would be close to the magnolia
