hi everyone, well erm... describe myself... erm... I'm 15, i love cavaliers, because my dad had an old blue Mk2 i think was A reg, and he has since had a white Mk3.

anyways.

i have a few Mk2 cavs from vanguards in 1/43rd scale and i want to paint one the same light blue that my dads was, the colour on this paint lid is near enough, but i have the paint and it is a really light blue that is completely different from the lid colour, can anyone tell me what the cavalier colour is called and then i may be able to mix my own, thanks for your help.

here is the link to the lid

Little pots of paint like what you use to paint airfix models?

They generally dry out much lighter than they look.

Other than that have a look through the site and see if you can find a pic of a car in the colour you want, someone will know the name paint code for it.

Then go down to halfords and ask them to make you up a touch up bottle in that code, that way you get the exact colour (well near enough being halfords)

thanks, i will try to find one, it was an early base model, so it might be hard to find though.

The Brochure and Mag gallery in the site content is a good starting point

here it is!

i still needs some touching up but it looks ok, i will get some more photos when the batteries are charged in the camera
