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. > Paddocks told me they cannot supply LR colours because they are copyright. > Seems odd to me, but there it is. > > Thanks > > Nick. But their Limestone is a pretty dammed close resemblence to the Landrover one... see here.. http://makeashorterlink.com/?G59721A5B Lee D >Please can anyone recommend a mail order source for LandRover standard >colours (limestone white in my case).

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........

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. Steve.

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.
