Holla,

Assuming the colour on the tin is what it looks like, how do you lot rekon this compares with the good old smooth green hammerite?

Granville paint, is this from Arkwrites open all hours shop. Sha sha sha sha should be ok.

I wonder if this might be okay too? http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Painting+Decorating/Metal+Paints+Primers/Smooth+Metal+Paint+500ml+Green/d150/sd3152/p23657

Go to a paint supplier and get them to mix you up a tin of pantone 348, its the exact colour Skoda used

Only problem is Hammerite type paint is used on brake calipers because of its heat resistance. Will a paint supplier make that type of paint?

I told him it was for brake calipers and he mixed something into the paint, I'll try and find the name but its lasted extrememly well with only 2 coats applied

If you spend some time looking into it, Skoda do not offer any paint for the calipers as its not one of their own colours, it was a guy who works for Skoda that confirmed they infact used a pantone colour for the calipers. Pantone 348

Got some mixed today! It is the same as the original colour.
