33b Ford Zephyr question

I have this 33b Ford Zephyr but it has sadly been overpainted. The question is it seems to be the sea green colour under the overpaint which is hard to find according to Nick's guide. Hopefully the colour will show through on the photographs.

Hi Cam.
It is sea green, but worthless in this condition.

Thanks Nick. I thought it was the sea green, but wasn't sure. I am going to see if I can clean it up a bit anyway, nothing to lose as you say.

soak it in brake fluid for about 10 minutes, or at least until the overpainting becomes wrinkled, Brake fluid will not harm the windows or wheels, Be careful though, after approximately 20 minutes the original paint will begin to lift.

I know this doesn't apply to the Zephyr in question as the black wheels are okay, but has anyone else found that some of the grey or silver (I can't remember which) wheels swell up and split if left in brake fluid?
