Damn I didn't know that was on other wise I would have hooned over for a few hours
What colour to paint Trigger? (LR S2A radio 109" 1962'ish))
in British Vehicles
Posted
I have now got to the point with my Series 2a project that the bulkhead is ready for a top coat of paint. The intention was to carry out all the necessary priming coats and finish (for now) with two coats of P'docks Bronze Green. I would then apply the more original military green later but only on the external surfaces. My thinking was that was how it would have been originally done?
Now I having a change of thought and I am not so sure that Bronze Green is what was originally applied especially when I look at some of the dash panels that would have been out of most of the weather and UV degradation. Or at least the shade that P'docks supply.
If you take a look at some of the images on the link you should get a better idea of the original colour allowing for age?

So:-
a) What colour to use as a top-coat - NATO semi gloss green?
b) Would the whole vehicle have been painted that colour from the factory or std 'std' LR 'green' then a military finish after delivery?
All suggestions gratefully recieved :-\
