OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers Rotomo Base Paint Colour

Hi all, I'm looking at maybe restoring a Model 3 Rotomo, I know the Paint colour for the cowel and fuel tank is Avocado Hammertone, But what is the correct colour for the base, It is the same as the Rotomo's but I don't know it's correct name

Hi breadman,

I think that it could be brunswick green but I am waiting to find out more and hope to have an answer within the week.

Thank you Bruce, I thought it might be Brunswick Green, But not sure if it is Brunswick Green or Deep Brunswick Green

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.

Thanks Bruce, Everything that I have read indicates Brunswick Green for Rotomo's Like I said I'm just not sure if it's Deep or Normal

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

I have used, Galmet, Brunswick green, this is light in colour.

I am currently using, Wattyl Kill Rust, Deep Brunswick Green.

Wattyl also do Brunswick green and Mid Brunswick green.
