Latest from Protec. I provided them with Three NOS parts.

Two in the later dark foliage green (M) and one in the earlier lighter green (J)

Protec provided me with three samples one they think may have been the green made for Bob Mosely ( I think M) the other two from my samples. The degree of flatting in their Fleet Khaki Green No 3 ( M ) was good . In the two samples mixed for me one had none and was full gloss and the other was satin.

I will flatten them both down with flatting base and have another look .

The paint they provide is similar to that brought at the hardware chain although labeled and supplied as Industrial Alkyd Enamel.

It is difficult to brush taking two coats to cover grey primer. The finished result is streaky on account of uneven distribution of the flatting agent and thin. It takes several hours to achieve touch dry on a reasonable warm day (28 deg C ).
I have still not seen anything to match the Coulthard's for sprayability, brushability and finish.
