| Post subject: | Brunswick Green / Early 850 Engine Paint |
Hi everyone, I got three cans of engine enamel mixed up for me today to match the colour of my engine. Well atleast the colour it was before the rebuild as it was a perfect match. I supplied them with a sample of the colour (My rocker cover) and it isnt even close to being correct or similar. Has anyone found a colour by a major paint company that is close to the early 850 green? I dont have the cash to get more paint mixed up and just need to get the colour close enough. Thanks Matt |

shouldn't they redo it for nothing since you supplied them with a sample and its not even close? |

They should but I waited ages and need the paint asap, so getting it re-mixed is not really in my time frame I need the engine (that is yet to be built - I get the motor from the machine shop tomorrow) in the car by next friday evening at the latest 
Anything would be closer than this. Matt |

Matt, i had some Austin engine paint mixed up at the local paint place off a sample that Greig Malure had, it's perfect take your rocker cover to a large paint place, they should be able to match it spot on. Doogie |

Doogie I took it to one of our biggest and most well renowned paint places in Adelaide.  Im not going to mention any names though.
I will try a different place and see if I can get it closer. Matt |

Matt I have used VHT Quick Coat Acrylic Enamel in Forest Green on my race motor. This is pretty close to the original. It is not rated as heat proof, but I have not had any trouble with peeling. I have half a can spare if you are running short. Hamish |
