The trouble with this is that most of us who have series landys haven't painted them for years so any pics won't really show the colour in all its glory. If you want to paint it green, go for the original bronze green with limestone roof and wheels.

• Pastel and light green are the same with paint code LRC005
• Atlantic looks the same but is paint code LRC726 (even on paintman.co.uk and he specialises in this!)
• Grassmere appears to be a slightly metallic version of one of the above, but not sure which one ... or if both

Hello,

I was just wondering if you ever figured this out. I am in exactly the same position of attempting to choose a green paint and cannot get definitive info.
My understanding so far is:

• Pastel and light green are the same with paint code LRC005
• Atlantic looks the same but is paint code LRC726 (even on paintman.co.uk and he specialises in this!)
• Grassmere appears to be a slightly metallic version of one of the above, but not sure which one ... or if both

When I search for pictures to compare they are hit and miss and more times than not confuse the situation with incorrect info or just bad search results. I know a lot of differences are based on the lighting in any given photo but often that still doesn't help answer the problem.

I would love to finally know if Atlantic is same, lighter or darker than Pastel Green.

I hope your project finished up well.

Regards,

Daragh

If you are painting the whole thing I am inclined to say it does not matter which one you choose. They were not original series colours (that was bronze green) so the whole vehicle will be the same light green which ever one you choose. It is only really a problem if you are trying to match existing paint rather than painting everything.
