Please can anyone recommend a mail order source for LandRover standard
colours (limestone white in my case). Cellulose preferred but can also mess
about with two pack if I have to.

Paddocks told me they cannot supply LR colours because they are copyright.
Seems odd to me, but there it is.

Thanks

Nick.

Halfords do them all. Some are listed under Land Rover but most are
listed under BLMC for some reason.

Find a good local motorfactors (i.e. proper one, not a toy shop),
and they will make any colour you like, cellulose, two-pack, aerosol.

Seems a bit odd that any automotive paint shop has the codes available
to mix any colour for any car, an interesting method of protecting
"copyright"!!! Thats the best excuse yet!

Officialy we shouldn't sent aerosols or paint through the post........

There is Bill the "The Paint Man" who was at Eastnor who seemed to have
the lot.

www.thepaintman.co.uk - his phone number is on there.

Very helpful bloke, willing to offer his experience for free.

Land Rover Limestone is a standard colour in Tekaloid although it's not
a British Standard colour, any paint factor will be able to mix the
colour for you in cellulose 2-pack or synthetic.

Copyright on a colour is bolox, the paint formulae is readily available
and has been for nearly fifty years.

And there are probably forty shades of limestone depending on the batch.

Never a truer word said in jest

There was a local motor factor near me who adopted a colormix system to
mix Tekaloid but it was never accurate when compared to the Tekaloid
mixing formulae as Limestone always came out with a red or pink tinge.

Thank you
Unfortunately I do not sell paint I have to purchase it in the same way
as everyone else does.
