That's very interesting as I recently asked Caterham for the Vintage /green code and they said there wasn't one?

  Not being a paint expert I'm not sure how to use the 5 code numbers listed. Do you give all 5 to the supplier?

I did contact Caterhams previous paintwork supplier, who were very helpful, giving me the following Lechler paint code/volume for a 500ml batch. My local Lechler stockist is able to supply against this in aerosol or standard form.

  Code of tinter                 Volume in cc

   290155                            383.6

   29072                              87.0

   29010                              22.7

   29085                              13.1 

   29015                               4.8

   29000                               4.1

    Don't know if these codes have any reference to the ones you have obtained.

           Regards

Rob, it looks like you have a formulation to mix 1 ltr of paint. there are many variants of BRG, a paint shop should be able to identify what variant you have needless to see they need to be up to date with their color base

Funny I was just looking for BRG codes, who manufacturers the paint?

I found the Caterham BRG too bright, by a shade or two. I went for Morgan (!) Connaught Green for a darker, more vintage green imho. 

i remember when Jaguar entered F1 they painted their cars a brighter metallic green to be photo and tv friendly.

Best advice is look at cars in real daylight, not on a screen. And make decision quickly, trust your instincts. I worked I retouching and our rule was decide on colour changes in 3 seconds otherwise yours eyes adjust too much, which probably makes no sense, but seemed to work on print ads.
