    Range Rover paint code 1982 - or suggestions

    Okay, a slightly obscure question:
    I am trying to find the paint code for my 1982 (manufactured in Australia) Range Rover. Can anyone direct me? I have googled and followed previous posts on here but nothing that looks extremely similar. The recommended hull/bt.internet site doesn't open.
    I have downloaded a previous LR paint codes pdf but still cannot find a definitive one for my July '82 2 door Range Rover. A sort of peppermint green?

    I have purchased two new hinges for the (heavy) driver's side door, and these will require painting, hence the desire for an accurate paint code, to save the paint shop having to do a visual match.
    Cheers everybody.

    Nice looking 2 door. Paint matching will probably give a better result than working off a code. I had paint mixed by code for my '76 2 door. It is closeish, but not the same.

    Is that a factory colour? I've never seen it... I'll check dad's CKD colour charts.

    I recall a very nice 2-door in what seems to be the same colour at KLR Automotive a few years ago.

    I would have bought it had it been for sale.

    I just received a message from Bard Pollard at KLR Auto suggesting it might be a Peugeot colour as he thinks Peugeot and RR were assembled on the same line in Oz. There were, apparently, other possibly Peugeot colours used on the CKD Rangies.

    I remember one of Owen Rumbel's sons (Owen owned LR dealer Modern Motors at Dungog) had a 2-door in a very bright yellow - similar to (the same as) AA Yellow. It's the only early RR I've ever seen in that colour. I think I have a pic of it somewhere.

    You can see the original paint code on te plate which appears when you lift the bonnet on it's bottom line, then if you google out that code as ''land rover paint code ... '' you'll find sites where the code is assocated with the colour's name and image, at least you'll know if it's original or not... so i found out that mine is '' LRC642 - blenheim silver''
