I have the same problem on my '88 Westy (grey). I've noticed that the paint appears in
several different shades in different places, either due to different batches, or
discolouration. Because of this, I found a close match in an automotive enamel, and
used it on the table legs, which were badly scratched up. It is a bit darker, but looks ok. I
haven't tackled the flaking stove paint yet, mainly because I would lose the painted
lettering - does anyone know if decals can be had for these?

I'd guess that even if you found original matching paint, it probably wouldn't match
anymore due to fading...
