Guys and girls, can anyone tell me whom they have purchased silver birch paint from in SA (Dulon 06968)?
I am keen on getting the correct colour and am having trouble finding someone who can get the Dulon.
Is using paint matching reliable getting the correct colour?

Thanks :D

I would get it paint matched not from the code, personally

I got my colour mixed from the code and i wouldn't even call it similar

if you have a good sample, they should be able to match it spot on

Hi 1976SS,

Trust you are well!

Autopro in Gawler mix paint - or at least they used to. I'm sure they can sort you.

Doing small stuff like the rocker cover and wheels?

I would try Crash Supplies in George St Stepney.
They have mixed the Indigo Blue, Almond Green and a couple of whites for me.

I have also used crash Supplies in Stepney. They matched silver birch to my switch panel, looked spot on when I painted my wheels.

Crash Supplies at Stepney, take a sample in (I took a fibreglass bonnet) so they can match it exactly. Don't rely on the code - I did this once with another vehicle and it was completely different to what was on there.
