Hey Marco, you may be able to help me with this question do you or does anyone know the correct match for the deep green drum brake 3C in the large A4 brochure, produced at the time?
Don't ask why I why to know!!!
 
Not so sure that it's RAL 6002, Leaf Green.    Shown in attached pic.
Was the original colour on my 3C.
Not all that dark, contains quite a bit of yellow and, in my case anyway, seemed to be a somewhat "dirty" colour.
RAL 6005, Moss Green, is darker, but then tends a little towards blue.

My 1975 3C had to be repainted the original green.  It was covered in red when I got it.  The painter was able to find some patches of original the original green.  He chose VW Brasil "Verde Mistico" to replicate it.
 
The colour Maurice is talking about is a very dark metallic green. 
 
MAURICE?? ??? Ok Ok, I will not ask... :P

The famous green drumbrake 3C featured in the big A2 brochure is still alive, I know the lucky owner.

He recently repainted it in the original metallic dark green, because it was repainted in the past in another colour.

I will ask him for the paint code he used, and I'll let you know.

Ciao
Marco
 
Sorry Maurice, the owner does not want any publicity and I respect that.
But please tell us about the Aussie Laverda register... what's gonna happen??  :o ;)
