I used wilko antique white enamel and plasticote enamel for the green, I think its called hunter green, its a bit daker than the origional green.
The paint was allowed to harden for a week then given three coats of clear.
A small tip is too let the enamel harden before applying the clear otherwise the paint will wrinkle very badly.   Embarassed

Sorry - bit late picking this one up!

Lovely job there Phantom. It's so damned satisfying when a restoration works so well.
