Hi

I'm starting a refurb of my 1978 Leyland LS and am looking for help on some colours.

The car was originally Silver Blue which the classicregister website lists as: Dulon, Paint Code: 562-30341.

It also had the roof vinyl and large side decals on it that were removed under a previous respray.

Does anyone know what the colour of the:
- side decals is (other than 'dark blue')
- vinyl would have roughly been?

There's this old ad on classicregister that gives some idea of what it would've once looked like - but there's no solid info on the colouring: https://classicregister.com/id-guides/i ... ini-998-ls

The image at this link has the vinyl, but the decal colour doesn't look quite right: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fb/0f/b8 ... 0dce67.jpg

I'm guessing there's no chance of getting the right vinyl for it.

Any help greatly appreciated

If going back standard then probably blue vinyl roof and blue stripes like in the brochure

Thanks, that's definitely the look I'm going for - any idea on what blue it is though?

I read in the Mini Experience that the blue vinyl is called Mid Royal Blue. It could be in the Trim Handbook but I dont have one to check. Back in the day they would have just ordered it by Part No HYE192. Or had a left over roll from the factory. But now the vinyl may need to be colour matched to another car that hasn't faded too much.
