Here is the better quality scan for you. The lack of washer bottle is a little puzzling!

The bar is natural, zinc plated; the brackets (obscured by the heater tap) are satin black but the 2 bolts and spacer washer on engine end (just visible) are also zinc.


Thanks Bill,
That's what I was thinking. I did the Steady bar with a zinc coat.
Cheers, Alan.

Who knows what they did with the washer bottle. Maybe they took it off to top up the water and lost it.

The scans are much appreciated. Now to find a colour pic.

I have just had a small tin of metallic green mixed at a local Motospray outlet. They included the formula, which is in their Auto Enamel line.
I don't know if NZ has Motospray brand - it was owned by Hi-Chem and now by Rustoleum, which is in NZ.
But the formula for this colour can't be used with a different brand.
The engine green metallic is very, very, very similar to an old 1970s Chrysler/Mitsubishi(Aust) colour called Sherwood Green (Met.) which might be easier to track down.
It looks like this.


Hi Bill B

Thanks for your info and I will look into Rustoleum.

I have looked at an Australian BMC Paint colour chart in the last few day's and found Metallic green Metallic in the trim colours.
1967 show's this colour under Duco with a code of 10489.
The next time Metallic Green appear's is 1971-72 under trim colour and is also Duco with code 13357.
The trim colour chart also show's Silver Birch and Silver Ash which I understand is the wheel rim colour's.
Working on these codes to see what might turn out for a colour match.
Interesting project :lol:

Cheers

The 2 different Duco paint codes for Metallic Green might be due to Dulux: I think the first 2 numbers in their paint codes referred to the line or system of the paint material. If so, then the actual colour could be the same but in 2 paint systems, with "13" replacing the "10" system.
With the wheel colour - I know the Cooper S wheels were a darker grey than the wheels made in Aust for Deluxe and K models.
