[bigcol]

Hi all

 

has anyone found a match for the beta green engine paint please.?

other wise it’s ordering from  beta

 

The conversion parts are being fitted as we speak

craftmaster do engine paint and do a green which is a match for my Beta BD3 but I cant tell you the exact name on the tin as it is on the boat. Have a look at their website. 

Having looked at their website think it is the Mid Brunswick Green which is used on Lister Stationary engines

What's your objection to that? I wouldn't have thought you needed a lot of paint, so what's it worth to get exactly the right colour?

Scrape a fragment off and take it to B&Q and they will match it while you wait . International Donegal Green is pretty close .

Does it have to be Tonka , I thought Big Col was simply engaged on a Tidy Up prior to Sale ? I believe he is on a Permanent Mooring with Hook Up so not encountering any great Temperatures unless of course Richard Goosey increases his Mooring Fees ?

You could try these Boys Col at a very reasonable £21

It does if he paints the exhaust manifold. I didn't know he was tarting it up to sell it

I must admit that I haven't seen the Big Fella recently as I have been cruising though I do believe it was for sale at least at one point
