    On the other hand you could get a few samples from your box (or ask Sten collector for a few) on a piece of sellotape and ask one of the paint mixers to analyse the sample on their spectrometer and come up with the EXACT match and mix formula. Valentines Paint did it for my Mini Cooper engine colour. But like Duke says (thread 5) the blanket stackers just use the paint that they get from the fitters shop! But if you do it the blanket stackers method, don't forget to get it all in the hinges so they are jammed solid, running down inside, all over the floor and overalls, into the catches and then leave great big greasy hand marks on it where it's been put back in the shed. And don't forget to leave the brush in the open tin to go solid for a few days afterwards
