    Nato green or Olive drab?

    Having just acquired a painted tilt I am in the process of restoring it. It has been painted green / black with paint on the outside. Does anyone know if they used Nato Green or Olive Drab as a standard? Black is black I presume. Also if it is a satin or matt originally. I'm not intending a...

    Paint Name/Colour Confusion (Bronze Green vs Deep Bronze Green?)

    Hi all, I have an interesting conundrum that, although only tangentially related to Land Rovers, may also end up helping some of you in the long run too. I'm currently building a large sliding gate for the end of the back garden where I drive my car in and out from the side road. As it's...

    Paint Job?
