Yer well I've seen so many shades of Epson green

Would have thought they all look the same from factory.
The different shades could be if it has be painted at some point since leaving the factory, Varying amounts of thinners ect can change the colour slightly.
 
Epsom Green is soooo last year... I mean really! Surly it's Gunmetal Gray you want. :lol: :D

No seriously, personally I think the Epsom Green is the perfect colour for a Defender as is the dark metallic blue. :)


Oh ffs don't confuse him any more than he already is :p:D
 
haha right im going for the green Epson Green it is, i do like to dark rich green, will look mean against all the black bits i have on the landrover, right sorted ill find the right paint code and ill be off :)

Ive trail fitted the roof sides and rear door lines up ok cappings are abit off , but not going to drill new holes in the tub or drill off all the galv on the new cappings. so all in all ok! Having trouble with the top hinge on the rear door catching the body work. when you pull the door half way the hinge will touch the body work and jam, is there a spacer that goes in between or had ****part striked again. there is no dip in the body work which would make is catch so im :s
