My local motor factors, and supplier of paint for my various Land
Rovers over the years has now closed down, leaving me being forced to
go to Halfords to try and get some aerosol paint for my RRC. They
appreciated that there were many shades of Plymouth blue but could not
tie my vehicle down to one particular "variant". They didnt have the
colour chart there to cover the Land Rover colours to mix one up
"Try Land Rover themselves" was the suggestion so I went up there.
Although helpful they just didnt have the information, only the basic
plymouth blue code, which is 434, but that was all they could tell me.
Next stop was a bodywork place who matched a shade for me from dupont
but their reference numbers dont relate to any others apparently, and
they can't supply in an spray
So, is there anywhere I can get a colour matched aerosol of the
correct shade from? Any takers?
Cheers
Dave

size of my house with paint codes in.

Cheers Mark,
Unfortunately i'm based in West Wales, we unfortunate when it comes to
getting spray paint! have you heard that all the paints are going
water based now?
The local bodyshop reckons that my Range Rover is a few different
shades anyway. Apparently some panels would have been painted
separately. I think im going to have to spend the afternoon with the
phone book.
Thanks for help!
P.S. If i send one of my doors to you in the post do you reckon that
you could pop round there and get it matched ;-)

I think they do mail order paints.
When i went in with mine, i managed to chip some paint off the door, and
he got a match from that.
I recon it would be worth giving him a ring. He was well helpful with me.
