Olive Green formula / Chip

[eddiepanhead]

Does anyone have a modern formula or color chip for Olive green?
I would be happy to buy a chip or sample.....
Looking to source paint locally to save $$ on VL Paint job.

Thanks,
Ed

Dear Ed, years ago I matched Olive Green to Rover car colour Seaweed, ICI paint code 10C39/P420-0857. I've still got some left if you'd like a sample. More recently we've matched this in the US to a modern paint code. Give me a day or two and I'll dig it out for you.

Thank you Steve! Much appreciated.
I have a great picture you sent to me when I purchased your book years ago.
It was of 30VL11955. I hope mine will look half as good as yours.
Did your painter do the stripes by hand?

Thanks,
Ed

Dear Ed, yes my US painter now does the striping by hand, as original. My UK painter does it by masking and spraying, rather than using tape. Contact me through the address below and I'll send you a paint sample.
