I just bought the brake pipes already plastic coated green from ford. You can buy it by the metre. Still have some in stock in case I need to make any more up.

hi Steve
the pipes in the bay are a different colour to the ones on the rear arms, the rear ones are a darker green, the ones in the bay are more of a dull finish matt green, i dont know what coulour they are but want to refurb mine, i havnt seen this conniston green but may get a tin to see how close it is.
the bay ones are a similar colour to an american army jeep if that makes sense, hope this helps
cheers
Paul
