MG MGA - Island Green

A friend of mine is going to paint his car Island Green and we are looking for example photos and paint codes. Help would be much appreciated!

Also, does anyone have a photo of an original panel or under dash shot of Island Green?

Thanks,

Island Green is Ditzier/PPG 44569. There are other manufacturer's paint codes on page 105 of "Original MGA".

Charlie, look here for an Island Green coupe. Maybe you can get info from C Jones since he indicates his coupe was originally and is currently Island Green.

I have located a paint code for Island Green.

It was provided to me by Cliff Jones of South Carolina who owns a factory Island Green MGA coupe. He had his car repainted about 10 years ago and said this code is an excellent match for the original color.

The paint is BASF Uno-HD which is acrylic single stage paint.

Here are the details...

The original paint code for Island Green from the paint maker ICI Belco was P030-5019. Its unlikely that colour code will be of much use these days, but an excellent match should be possible as the pigment types used are still available.
