Has anyone found a match for "Forest Green" paint?
I know I can get it mixed but it would be easier to just buy it.
Mr H doesn't list it.

Take a panel down to you local Halfords ? they have a great selection of car colours - sure there will be something there to suit .

Better still, take your panel to somewhere that supplies the auto finishing trade.
They'll mix you an exact match and it'll be cheaper than Halfords or the like.

Then try and get an EXACT match for your sample against the 1500 or so metallic green samples they will offer you! :mrgreen:

When I wanted some touch up paint for my van, I knew the paint code but different paint manufacturers seem to interpret Bianco 210 differently and none matched the van exactly.
I went to an autofinisher suppliers and the guy came out to the van with a small electronic camera like device. He placed this on the paintwork and took a reading. He used this reading to formulate a recipe to mix my paint, which was an exact match.
Price - £6:25 for a 250ml tin [I didn't want an aerosol]
BTW He saved the formulation to his computer in case I ever needed more of the same.

Thanks for the replies.
As I said, I know I can get it mixed but surely the paint code isn't a secret?
