    Maybe you could get a paint factors to mix you up some?

    However if it's to make some old parts look like NOS, then I hope not.

      No, it`s not for panels, it`s for a shell i have which has the majority of the underfloor original finish. There is some surface rust that would need to be sanded off and so i`m looking to repaint some area`s.
      Think it may be difficult to replicate ??

        Most primer I've used has been a very light grey, so if the paint factors could add some green to it, then I don't see why you couldn't get something close to what you're after. I saw an RS2000 in a magazine that had a primered underneath with factory style overspray of the top coat (happened to be green in this case), so I get what you're after.

          Not so easy to pin down as there is a different
          code for dove grey each year.
          But you can match any colour ,getting it to match the shade
          on the underside of your shell wont be so easy.

          And it will be cellulose on the shell.
          Probably best to match and paint the full underside.

            Check out the colour of the genuine RS drivers side inner wing I have for sale in the for sale section. It is still in its original ford factory primer finish, also part number stickers still on it. You might be able to get paint mixed from this. Take care Paul.
