    Limestone code, safari roof & 7.5x16 tyres

    Apologies for another update and set of questions in such a short time... got a brand new rig, so ultra excited.

    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?

    Cheers,

    Adam

    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.

    Adam,
    The Land Rover code for Limestone is 007.
    This was mixed by my local paint supplier in Dulon Acrylic.

    Available on Ebay in a rattle can

    Here's a few LR codes.

    Thanks Colin, that is very helpful. Love the wheels and the tyres are also exactly what I’m looking for also.
