Hi All!

1981 SWB Series 3

Trying to tart the old girl up piece by piece and want to the get the wheels re-sprayed.

I've looked lots of places for the colour but seem to only come up with limestone which it definitely isn't. Its the off-white colour, same as the hard-top.

Any ideas which I should be getting and where I can get it from??

Thanks
J

Thanks for getting back Col.

It looks too yellow on all the descriptive pics...mine is the same as below (if you can see the picture)?

Yes your wheels are limestone. Are you looking at paint that is landrover limestone. It is a sort of creamy white. See if your supplier will give you a small sample.

I did mine a couple of weeks ago. It was called Land Rover limestone on the tin

Some of the reproductions are quite yellow.
They soon die down a bit. Specially when the rust comes back through round the wheel nuts.

It fades over many years to be close to white. I suspect the correct limestone will look creamy alongside the hardtop.

It doesn't look like he's been on the forum for a few months
It looks the same colour as mine though which is bronze green and limestone.

I bought my paint from paddocks if that helps
