    Paint Paint Paint

    I am trying to match a paint colour on my '73 shorty. It is darker than the Light Green or Pastel Green and not quite Wildlife Green which was 72 only.
    Having spent hours Googling, my next bet was maybe Lincoln Green. Looks close, but I am not sure this wasn't a Range Rover colour only. To my eye it is a very popular colour. Any help would be most welcome.

    Also, does anyone know if Limestone is the same as English Limestone. By the formula it's pretty close.

    Just used some Septone paint stripper on the wheels, which had many layers. This stuff is dynamite, but would eat Birmabrite. and you need a mask to use it.

    Regards
    Solaros

    Here are a couple of snaps. May be hard to get a really good idea of the colour given these are taken inside under lights and flash. There are three different colours in this photo. I think the window frame is close, but the tub looks original but faded.

    Again, any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you know if the CKD cars came in painted or were they painted here ?

    I also have a 76 shorty, that is almost certainly Wildlife Green, but that was 72 only.

    Totally confused

    Looks like faded Pastel Green to me solaros!

    Actually I've seen lots of Landies here in that colour. I think that is the Spanish Olive mentioned. It should be a gloss finish too, not matt.

    It is a quite attractive colour and suits the Landie well, plus limestone and the classic dark green variants of course.
