BEF Morris Commercial CS8

[Mike K]

Mike Starmer describes Light Green No.5 AKA Light Bronze Green as being a light grassy green .

While pulling bits from a MCC CS8 , I discovered what I believe to be factory applied No. 5 green under the steering column bracket . It has a definate yellow hue to it , sort of looks like fresh grass . Mike suggests a good starting point , with a formula based on Humbrol numbers .

The point to remember is , the amount of sheen or shine present on the finish , really changes things a lot , making the same colour look radically different. It is amazing how the eye can give a different perspective with varying degrees of matt finish . I think the BEF CS8 would look a tad better with a less shiny finish .
