A few questions if anyone can help? 1) does anyone have the correct Limestone colour paint code? I have read a few posts on things that are similar, but I want the actual paint code if anyone has it - wheels need painting, 2) does anyone have a SWB safari top they’re willing to part with, or know where I can find one? ( have two standard roofs in VGC, so can consider trade), and 3) I want a set of decent 7.5x16 tyres and considered the Avon Rangemaster, albeit appear to need to import these myself, is the Michelin XZL still available here (saw some on a perentie this week), if not what have others used / sourced here in the 7.5x16 size on standard 5” rims?
Limestone paint : Ask a paint supplier, most would have the code but they might need an old catalogue to look it up so go for an older well established place. I have Limestone paint I got mixed some time back, I'll see if there is a code on it.
SWB Safari roof : Best of luck as they are scarce. I just collected one a few weeks ago while looking for a standard one.

Tyres : I think the XZL is discontinued but you might find stock somewhere if you phone around
Michelin XLZ alternatives.
As posted in your other thread on the subject.....Dunlop Road Grippers are a good alternative. Otherwise speak to a tyre shop and see what they can source.
