Perkins engine paint

[pcatterall]

We are returning to France this month and putting Coral Wind to bed for the winter.
We will be doing a few jobs and I have been told on the forum to tidy up the wiring ( I promise to do that!!) I could do with getting some engine paint just to keep on top of things and wonder if anyone can identify the green stuff in the picture.
Not sure if it is a Perkins green or even Hammerite!! Any offers!!

We are going out in our Transit; Calais, Dijon, Montceau les Mines so if anyone needs anything taking out that way ( within reason!!) shout.
Cheers

Hi,i recently painted our perkins 4107 with two coats of hammerite red,hammerite is available in cans and aerosol form,if you search you could probably find original engine paint,but why bother when hammerite works well.Regards.Ronnie.

Difficult to say based on the picture, it is either VP green or Hammerite. You can buy VP green in spray paint, but not in touch-up. If you have any trouble finding it, I'll try and find the supplier

I wanted touch-up, and ended up mixing my own from Hammerite Direct to Rust. Mostly their dark green, and some yellow. I also added a bit of their grey/green, but I don't think that had much of an effect.

Note that they don't make the original green that was a good match.
