Can anyone recommend a good source of the cumulus grey (or close enough equivalent) paint for the switch panel? |

The mini switch panel was painted with "Silver Birch". It is a metallic colour and theoretically the same colour as for De Luxe (locally made) wheels. Getting the same colour mixed today will be hard to match to the colour name, but if that isn't critical, maybe a hammertone finish might be close enough. Alternatively, if you still have an original sample, find a spray pack in an auto shop that is close. It's a very small panel. |

My spray painter matched the colour of my original switch panel to perfection. He really enjoyed the challenge! Some have the eye for it; some don't! |

I've bought pressure packs of Silver Birch Mettalic twice from two different suppliers. There are apparently two different variants, but both lots have been a perfect match on my Moke. Tim |
