Those were the original colors of my van also, I don't know color codes but the green was very Vibrant, Lime Green and the Brown wasn't dark. I've chosen to revisit the lime green but swap the brown for a black. let me try find an original photo with the unfaded colors

Heya Peter, glad to see you back with a new project that looks easier than the last! Do you have an Inspirations paint mob your way? Unlike Bunnings the sales staff know more and have all the codes & swatches. So 1st step start colour matching by grabbing what looks like your colours swatches from Bunnings or Inspirations then compare until you find close or exact. I always grab a few either side darker/ lighter/redder-bluer than what you think it is from memory-get home and one of two things will occur. (1)A stripe on one of the swatches matches or (2) you think hmm that needs to be greener or whiter than what i have so then go back & grab the next batch more towards what it looked like.
The sad thing now is even stock colours and names from 30+ years ago change so what was standard olive green is now pine whispers haha!

Earl's supplied my paints, through a friend in Maryborough who did the spray job.
