Penman / Sankey Paint Code

Hi all,

A search doesn’t bring up the answer for me, lots of NATO but not NATO Green. Are they actually Nato green or is it olive drab British Military? My trailer is in good condition, just needs a few spots tidied up. Cheers.

I used BS285 Nato Green on mine.

Was it a good match? Also aware that 2006 potentially sun bleached / weathered paint won’t necessarily match to 2024 paint of equivalent original spec.

I'll post some pics tomorrow. My trailer was very faded, so the new paint looked very "green" in comparison

But I think it was the closest NATO drab match, with a slight eggshell finish (which I chose)

Went on very easily with a 4" radiator roller too

just remember if you sand/ flat the original paint its normally has a infra red element to it which is rather poisonous.

any aftermarket nato green will be close but its very hard to replicate the original if its from 2006 and will have aged over time.
