Hello!

So... I'm sorting may rust issues the next few weeks whilst my landy is off the road, however i have no idea what the paint is called. It's an ex-military 1973 Series 3 Lightweight, and was used by the Royal Fusiliers.

Does anyone have any idea what the colour is, apart from bluey/greyey?! I hope the image link works, shout if not. Any help greatly appreciated as always!

I hope you're not planning to spray it - that colour is mental, just get it lacquered

I know it's great! Ive got to take some paint back to get it welded up and clear some rust from the bulkhead and want to repaint over the top with the original/close colour. I havent seen any other lightweight with this colour scheme, intrigued to see why its painted this way too.

It looks like an original Land Rover Series colour:

Originally lightweights left the factory as Deep Bronze Green or Marine Blue (for the RAF). Later they were all painted Matt/satin Nato Green.
