Closest colour match to powdercoat wheels - Keswick Green
Anybody tried finding closest RAL or BS colour to Keswick Green to powdercoat steel/wolf wheels.

These two look pretty close but colours on a screen or on a paper chart are never accurate.

Both of these colours look rather dark to me compared to keswick green and have a slightly grey tint. Defender 90XS SW
Mini Countryman Cooper S

I've always seen Keswick as quite a grey green anyway. But I'm not sure. Every time I go outside and look at it i think different.
The coach enamel I got from Paintman to do the centre dash panel looked ok initially but when i offered it up to the body work was way too green and painting a bit of the genuine touch up brush next to the paintman Keswick Green, the touch up paint looked really grey......

Thumbs Up Will do. Might head down the powdercoaters and see if they've got some larger swatches to hold up against the bodywork.... https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

Weirdly I just had mine painted today - basecoat and clear lacquer as it’s more durable than powdercoat I think
