Hi folks

I think that it is RAL 52611 from http://www.sparetimelabs.com/myfordvfd/myfordvfd.php

near to me there is a paint shop that will mix any BS or RAL colour up. There must be similar near to you- a brushing machine enamel is what you need I think.

Thanks Marcos but I think the Paragon green according to their web site is
"which were painted in the distinctive green shade, such as the 1976 to 2000 series 7 and the 254 series machines"

So I guess the search continues -good try - I hadn't come across it before.
