There's a few Army Green's like RAL 6003 - but I reckon this is "too English" to be on Bosch lamps...

One or two I have are more Olive/Brown -

would be good to get some enamel of the right colour

Paul, do you have a laser level at home to check the alignment of the pictures on the wall by any chance?

I love the whole attention to detail thing happening here...

My father always told me "If you do something, do it properly or don't bother doing it at all"

you could download a app that will give you a pantone colour, then order it from a company that makes up the colour for you...sorry, no links, but i'm sure you can do the google'ing

Don't forget to "splash" some of the protective wax on to the newly painted lights for that "just left the factory" look ;o)))))
