Frank had a reputation of buying at 'competitive' prices, and ex WW2 battleship grey paint may well have been used on occasions, however most of the early chassis frames were certainly painted in the 'duck egg’' green ... the Mk.III s/r which was rebuilt for the Bexhill Museum had been buried under a garage full of tat, but that meant no one had spoilt the originality and we had a new small supply of that colour produced. Back in the day, the ‘green’ paint supply may have petered out and another colour more grey paint took its place ....
I will probably have the paint RAL code somewhere but a good paint shop should be able to mix up a supply.
