FC van ready for paint - grey or green?

[cam58tiger]

Hi all, my FC panel van is at the paint stage.

I've always had in mind to re-do the original Ascot Grey, but have had a re-think on grey and thinking of something less primer-looking (no offence to all the grey FE/C's out there!)

I had a light green FC van in early '90s (pic attached). I'm leaning towards this colour.

So I was wondering - how do I find out the colour (wrecked the body & didn't keep tag info).

Or should I just stick to repainting the old girl in orig colour - The van will be stock.

[p.s. - I'm wanting to buy a decent FE/C steering wheel if anyone has one for sale??]

thanks

Hialeah green 256-2102
Or Ice green 256-2100
Both these are original FC van colours

I'm having the exact opposite drama with my fc ute. It was Hialeah green but I think I prefer grey, but I don't want it to look too much like primer it will have to be real glossy if I go grey

I once got a defect and the copper wrote cream and grey primer (volvanic grey) very annoying..

Ive had the firewall on the van painted. It is pretty glossy (2pack) and I'd prefer it to be duller.

Another reason I was thinking of going green is that I saved the bench seat & door trims from the green van, both in good nic an they're all i've got to use.

thanks fasteddyfc for green colour codes!
