I was set on painting my car black, but I keep thinking about BRG. There are so many examples of BRG it will make your head spin. I don't like the lighter shades as much as the darker, almost black shades of BRG. In particular, I like this shade of BRG:

Does anyone have any idea what this color code may be?
 
No idea, but that's my favorite, too.
 
Are those your pics or are they from a magazine? If they're from a magazine, reach out to the photo dept. They should have contact information of the owner, etc.
 
Looks like Jaguar Racing Green used for the works C and D Types. The Jag forum should be able to provide a paint code or formula.

I emailed Legends and received a very nice response from Guy.
He said they add about 10% more black to it and will contact me with the paint code on Monday.

The work they have done at Legends is astounding. The computer aided design and attention to detail they utilize really makes these cars better than the originals in many ways. If you haven't visited their site, I highly recommend doing so.

How cool! Glad to see you were able to find the information. :smile:
 
Tabcon, you can't go wrong with sticking to the original colors. Excellent array of hues, a veritable rainbow of beautiful, bright colors to choose from.

Stick with the originals: the car will be easier to sell, and most importantly, it will be original!

Let us know . . . :yesnod:
 
Thanks for the link to the site. The slide show was really good. It's incredible that craftsman still exist to make a car like that. Also the video is classic.
