David - Scott kindly posted the panel to myself in the UK with the original Jowett colour of Metalchrome Turquoise - I have done some research over the past few days and I now have a colour match that a mixing formula is available for that is applicable to the current tinting banks held by automotive paint factors / suppliers - if would like to PM me your address I will spray a colour card up for you and post it out along with the paint details & references - Chris

Thank you for the samples guys. they arrived at the same time. Comparing the samples to the internet photos, I am glad I waited for the samples. The colour is greener & darker than I imagined. BMC Polynesian turquoise is a brighter
colour & more what I am after. Therefore I will trial paint with the BMC colour this weekend, before committing to a final colour.
Good memories of Bradfords.

I had a sample made of BMC turquoise & sprayed a spare wheel. It is far more vibrant than the two samples of Jowett Turquoise. The samples almost go grey in the QLD sun.

Sadly your words have some truth, the bush fires are still raging & the sky is not grey with rain clouds, but with smoke haze. I like many Australians would like to see the people who start fires locked up for life.
If you have not seen Lewis the koala on the news please look it up on Youtube, heart warming, though tragic.
Good memories of Bradfords.

Chris,

I am looking for the paint color metrics to provide to my painting contractor as my jupiter needs to be put back to its correct color as well. Please provide metrics.

The seafoam green-ish color. Not sure what the official jowett name is, but that nice light turquise color.
