Morning everyone,

I’m looking to touch up parts of my 90 and respray a few panels in an attempt to smarten it all up a little.
Has anyone got any idea of what colour green it is? (Front wings and upper hard top sides, also curious to the door colour as it looks slightly different)
I’ve looked on the identification plate for a code but it’s not been filled in.
It’s had a replacement bulkhead at some point so that’s a different green and a bad repair on the offside rear corner. many help would be much appreciated!
It’s a 1987 90 if that helps. My guesses are either Deep Bronze Green or Eastnor Green.

Rear corner looks to be Deep Bronze Green
 
@LaxfieldLandy , you could always find an area where you could take a good sized flake of existing/preferred colour and send it to Paintman for them to confirm the correct shade...subject to usual paint fade caveats. I've recently used their enamel primer and paint, it's really very good product and they sell the correct type/grade of brushes and rollers.

Inside of a fuel flap is good, one -not too noticeable, two - not so sun faded ...

Thanks, I’ll give them a shout and see if they are ok with that at the moment.
I take it that you’ve rollered/brushed and Landy before? What’s the outcome like? Is it smooth or can you see roller/brush marks?
 
Hi the rear corner thats behind the wheel arch
Ahh, that’s quite a bright green, on top of a bent panel and filler work that looks like it’s been chewed at by rats or applied with a pitch fork. I think I prefer what ever the front wing colour is.
 
As with all paint work before doing anything else with it in terms of improvement it might be worth giving the whole vehicle a good t-cut (or similar) and polish. This may improve things and restore the faded panels to a far nearer shade to the new paint. It would also give you a more accurate colour if you are going to get paint mixed to match, or are looking at colour patches trying to get it to match.
