G'day folks,

Bit of confusion over here in Holland.

I bought a tin of HMG "duck egg blue" engine paint and the sodding stuff looks more like a pastel green than a blue.

Is this right?
 
Well thanks chaps.

I'll post a picture of the oil filter bowl I've just painted tomorrow - it looks really green under electric lighting...

Go to google images and type in Series Land Rover Engine and you can see similar repainted examples.
Also worth looking on Turner Land Rover engine website and see some of their rebuilt and repainted ones to compare.
 
Yeh it's a good and original. Iv got the coniston green. But I'm wanting to have the engine block in the DUCK EGG BLUE. I'm thinking good for spotting oil leaks
 
I think I might just buy a pot of engine paint from the paint man as well as the body paint I want and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not 100% happy with this HMG transport paint colour.
 
I was going to paint mine with the paintman's cockpit green my S3 is going to be bronze green, what colour are they meant to be? Standard petrol by the way
