My fairway is blue.Carbodies reckon its BMC midnight blue.The paint inside and out is all the same but BMC midnight blue is far too green lookng.
Does anyone know what colour these things really were?.

There should be a plate with the vin number and other details. The paint colour code should be on there. If you go to any paint sprayer they should be able to tell you which numbers are the paint code and what the colour actually is.

There are two shades of midnight-blue... one is a lot darker than the other.. also the shades will differ depending on the manufacturer of the paint you are buying.
if you wish to get the correct colour code... ring car bodies in London give them the registration number of your vehicle.... and they will give you the correct paint code. 1 litre of the correct paint is approximately £80 plus VAT..... but you'll find the colour will be correct... there are no plates with colour code numbers on LT I vehicles. :wink:
