I'm amazed you can find any pattern at all with those paint runs Gina! Fortunately you can take a bit of license with camo patterns, main thing is to get the colours right. Like you I'm extremely fussy on that subject. In due course I plan to match the '42 factory camo on this door and establish the formula for these two colours with one of the reputable paint companies. Need to expose a large area for accurate matching and give them the whole door, none of this small component nonsense. I don't care how long it takes or how much it costs but I won't settle for anything less than a perfect match, because once it's done it will never have to be done again. I've had a gutful of chasing WWII paint specs and it's ridiculous that we have to reinvent the wheel every time we want to paint a vehicle. These are standard factory colours, just like any modern car colour, and there's no earthly reason why we can't simply ring up and order them. Imagine if panel beaters had to go through this paint matching rigmarole for every minor repair.
