Protech Paints have a colour matched in their system.

The code is: 36366 (or AFL.L7V8B). The name of the match is Austin Engine Green... its the light metallic green, the same as used on Cooper S engines etc.

Just picked up a colour matched spray can to paint my head (when it comes back from the machine shop).
