Hi all, I am having difficulty identifying the paint colour/code of my ex military S3 - what are your opinions please? Please try to resist 'green' or 'greeny grey'!

Looks like the matt grey that was used by RUC during the Northern Ireland "troubles"?
 
Doesn't look like an original paint job, so may not be an original Grey/Green/whatever colour .. :)
 
Looks like NATO Green IRR, when it deteriorates it goes very greyish.
RUC grey paint was quite dark, classed as "Special Grey" - a dark slate grey.
IRR paint would not make you look like a black hole. It is not a cloaking device, the idea is to reflect IR to the same as the chlorophyll found in the foliage in NW Europe.
 
Thank you Suggsey (and MV1620) I think that you are be right. I have bought Nato Green and added a bit of white and matting agent to the new door but I don't think it is going to be a good match, I am no expert at this! Thanks again
