shame you dident ask a week ago before i sold a crash damaged ELITE the exact same color

but now you best bet is just go down your local paint factors with paint code and get em to make a rattel can up for you.

Yes that colour was known as velvet/jungle green with the same code. Normally if a shade difference is associated with a different name, it gets a different code. There were several different shades of that colour, however - the Dupont mixing scheme suggests 6 different recipes to match all the variants - so having an aerosol made up may give you a pretty poor colour match unless whoever mixes it identifies which variant paint is the best match...

thanks for all the help Gents, much appreciated. have purchased said rattle can and will blow it in, not looking for concourse, the 'megs only an occasional tow car for the racer when i cant be bothered to get the van or of course the best method of transferring all the crap that the council now wont collect as rubbish to the nearest tip (oh, er, sorry recycling hub...)
