    This week I have found myself with two vapalux 300 lamps. One is grey, I've got a paint to match for that, the other is Chocolate Brown, can anyone recommend a paint that matches? The search hasn't turning anything up.

    Thanks.

    That's a coincidence, I was thinking about looking at Rover colours to see if I could find a match. :lol:

    Here, judge for yourself:

    Not bad, maybe a little light, might work if I use a darker brown if I can find one as an undercoat. I'll have to take a trip to Halfords. Thanks!

    Hi, I found a paint in B&Q's Valspar range that matched it. Unfortunately, they don't name them, but go for one that is a chocolate colour (not a bitter chocolate) - it was a good match to what was on the lamp!
