I have been in contact with Victa yesterday and they told me that it is Dulux Advocado but I am going to check with some other people as I have seen quite a few Victa's painted Brunswick Green in the past. I will try and contact a person that has restored Victa's from 1953 till 1970 as he was a person that Victa recommended in the past years.

Hi All, Graham Anderson who was Victa's first Mechanic when They worked out of Richardson's back yard once told me the color for the rotomo was Mid Brunswick Green and the red was OILALL red which I cannot Find Hello Ron I am currently restoring a Model 1 and Model 2, and have been looking at these colours. I have painted normal and deep brunswick green and found that one was a bit to light and one to dark. Funny I only noticed Mid Brunswick green on Monday at the local hardware. Maybe I will give that a go. Thanks Martin

G'day,
I have always liked Brunswick green; it covers everything up in one pass of the spray can. What paint brand is preferred by the rest of the team? Personally I like the Australian Export stuff for a pressure pack.
Regards Jay
