Its not that he has a coat of many colour but coats of many colours. Ignore the yellow that was sprayed as a guide coat but there appear to be at least 3 if not 4 different shades of blue/grey/purple paint on the bonnet, but it will look better once the correct colour match is found!!!!

I now have foun someone who says they can work from the old paint code and translate to modern tints, but we will have to wait and see. I have found no one who can work direct from the old ICI codes as yet.
