Thanks 'PJ'.
I didn't realize that variation. I have therefore posted both recipes for your
interest. They are:
GN.25 now ARG.25 at
http://www.nfahc.co.uk/BRG-GN25.jpg
and GN.29 now ARG.GN29 at
http://www.nfahc.co.uk/BRG-GN29.jpg
The good news is that both are still in the database and therefore easily
reproduced for a test spray-out.

Alan, watch out! GN.25 is a kind of pain-in-the-eye rather light British Racing
Green. I know because I sprayed my body with this colour and it was definitely
not what I expected. Turned out there are TWO British Racing Greens, and I think
what Brad wants is Dark British Racing Green and that's GN.29. Have no other
companable paint coding than of a Dutch paint manufacturer Sikkens.

Hi Brad
Not sure if this helps. BRG was identified by the AH code GN.25 or ICI Code
8120. PPG bought the ICI recipes and reproduced them in modern synthetics. The
PPG code given to this mix was ARG.25 (Austin Rover Group). That mix is probably
as accurate as you can get and is still listed on the PPG database.
A screen shot of the recipe can be found at:

Best wishes for the New Year to all.
