Happy days on the knowing the paint name.... good luck trying to get some from Vauxhall. The last lot of paint I got from them was Graphite Mica... a colour that was only in production for about 2 years (between 65 and 97). Anyway, they had to make some up for me it.

Anyways, yours is only the second Nova I have seen in that colour.... funnily enough that was on a J plate as well  :yes:

Id love a saloon in that colour or a nice brown one:) Yeah iv had spray tins mixed there an they said to use grey primer however its white primer underneith and the paint they gave me looked a few shades greener so it wasnt the best. however i have found that by ordering paint of professioal websites by the tin load then taking it to a car painter to get sprayed has worked better and actually cheaper. But we did personally know the Painter so only cost us 20 pounds to paint the rear quarter
