Hey guys,
Doing some research (badly) and I'm coming up stuck. What colour blue was available in 2000 for Defenders? Its a Genuine CSW 110 in Metallic Blue and I need to know the paint so I can get some made up for some replacement/touch up bits. Thanks as always guys

Thank you
Yes very lucky indeed, many hoops had to be jumped through before I got it all sorted and even now it has conditions so is currently being stored at a private location for a while which is killing me as all I want to do is drive it 
It is indeed for My Girlfriend but also as a backup/down time vehicle so I can still get to work while mine is having work done- which takes the pressure off me a bit as it means I can spend more time on jobs rather than having only a weekend to do any major work 
But as I say, all will be revealed soon hopefully  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Worth checking but not sure Defender was offered in Oslo blue, think it was a Discovery and Range Rover colour - could be Caledonian blue but check if available in 2000

Oslo was certainly offered on the defender, if I remember correctly it was from around 99-04ish, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-Land-Rover-...7675.l2557
Also Caledonian isn't metallic ... |

My 2004 TD5 90 is Oslo Blue
So definitely an option |

Just to add confusion to the mix - could it be Cairns Blue?

No I think Cairns blue is a lot lighter.
Save all the guess work I will take a photo tomorrow in the daylight and upload so we can all have a look. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

My 1999 TD5 is Caledonian blue, never found the paint code as the tab was blank.

If it helps, the 90 below is Oslo Blue and the 110 is Cairns blue, Cairns is a little bit more purple under sunlight whereas Oslo goes a little brighter.
