Hydraulic parts green paint

Unread post by wurlycorner »

Just wondering, does anyone know the 'right colour' green for painting the hydraulic parts on CXs?
Anyone got a link to where they bought some brush on or spray paint of the stuff?

Whilst I'm working on hydraulic bits on the car, I might as well give them a scrub and repaint - and I'd rather do it with the right colour stuff! :)

Thanks

Bump

No-one knows the right colour?

Searching on the net turns up 'Brunswick Green' for DS hydraulic parts, but they were a darker green than the later CX/BX/XM/Xantia etc. hydraulic parts, which I can't seem to find anything on?

Trawling through my notes suggests that AC502 is the official colour reference.

John Deere green has also been suggested as a slightly lighter shade, which might be a better match for later cars.

If you take something, a sphere would be ideal, in the colour you need, to most decorators merchants who offer a paint mixing service they will have a gizmo to scan it and generate the paint code. It would be polite to buy a little paint which they will happily mix up for you.
