NB front chassis leg paint colour

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __1999 NB

  2. I’m based near: __Saffron Walden

  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __Front chassis leg and wheel arch paint colour for car with colour code 18J bodywork (Grace green/Mica green). Front chassis and wheel arch are different colour to bodywork.

They are usually body colour but no other finish applied like lacquer, so appear dull and a different shade.

The colour of the chassis and wheel arch is very much more blue than the dark green bodywork. I am removing some (thankfully) light surface rust patches from the chassis legs and want to try and match as closely as possible this existing colour. I’ve been recommended to use a brush-on enamel paint for this job but I can’t find the exact colour match.
I’m intending to do a Rocketeer V6 conversion and have a brand new engine ready to covert. The car, although 25 years old is in really nice condition so I want to do the best possible job on it.
