I was going to say you can get the correct paint, ready mixed in a tin, from MiniKing in Sydney but then I noticed you are OS.

Can paint be sent OS to NZ??

There's a company here called White Knight Paints who do a spray can colour "Alpine Green". A lot of people use that as it is very close to the original colour, cheaper, and arguably easier to use. Particularly if you are not too fussed on the concours repercussions.

Bunnings here in Oz is a good place to get it. Do you have Bunnings over there? if so, maybe buy a can and do a test spray on a scrap bit and see.

Its a shame its hammer toneonly now...It used to be solid once upon a time.

Are the other colours from the early range also available? Ie dark green and the bronze/gold?

Dulux Autocolour code is 13261.
Metallic Green Metallic
This is from an old tin I've had for 30+ years. Paint has gone hard but I keep it for the number.
This query keeps cropping up at regular intervals.

How about Silver Birch? Is there a reasonably good replica of it available in pressure packs? You'd theink there would be a fair bit of demand, it was used on just about every BMC car in the period.

Bunnings in NZ also stocks the white night range - you might get lucky.
