I’m going to spray my landy if no one buys it, looking for a colour match for the original blue not the van back, it’s faded on the outside but the inside looks a bit darker - anyone know what this colour is?? Cheers !
I can’t upload a picture to the forum on my phone so here is a link to the eBay listing.

Surely a land rover of that vintage the blue will just be the standard marine blue that every land rover was from about 1960! However if you are repaint the whole thing there is no need to colour match. The difference between the land rover blue like arles/marine/stratos is minimal and is only important if you are trying to match current body panels.

Marine blue, thanks - yes will be painting the exterior all the same, was wondering what it would have been originally just for originality - i would like to paint it a pale Matt blue if I keep it, a bit like what it’s faded to
