Hi please can anybody help, I am looking for some engine block paint in the old bmc colour green, I have looked at a couple of makes but when you look inside the tin they are a more blue than green and would look completely wrong on our car, If anybody has knowledge of a produt that might be ok I would be very grateful, thanks Gary Smile

Bull Motif Spares sell it: www.bullmotif.com

I've had it from them before and the colour is a pretty good match.
