Surveyor Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Just having acquired yet another stove built about 1975, i was trying to identify the paint on it. I had some Deep Bronze green left over and sprayed the leg but am not convinced it is a similar match. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10FM68 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 It looks right to me. Bear in mind that the old paint will have suffered a great deal over the years - from being heated, scrubbed, subject to fuel spills etc. Yours looks to be in DBG, but soon after that one was built there was a change to a matt green which was more olive - if you have one have a look at HPP lamps made at that time and later = the bowls are painted in that colour. It is probably a variant of the British "NAT green" which often varied markedly according to the manufacturer. For example, the NATO green factory applied to Land Rovers in the later years (from mid/late 70s) is a very different shade from the tins of paint applied by units - either sprayed or brushed, while the RAF version was different again.

Surveyor Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Painted and restored sounds good, only changed the pump cup, the 2 washers, got it going and flame everywhere, used the pricker and it goes a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
