Hi Bruce,
I myself used the Ford Laurel Green and Panama Beige, on a lodekka respray but I thought the green looked a wee bit too dark (I used grey primer). It was the first and only respray into SMT colours I have done to date so I cannot offer any alternative.
On the subject of transfers, you can get the 'emergency exit', 'fuel oil', etc from MODELMASTER DECALS, but they do not supply company addresses (legal lettering) transfers that you are after. I know that Mark did a lot of the transfers himself.
At one time, I was going to commission a run of complete sets of transfers for the Scottish Bus Groups with everything included on the sheets, but the cost was too high for me to do on my own.
Try asking the other group members if anyone can do some transfers for you.
Walter.

Although I have been collecting models of Scottish buses for many years
I am now about to embark on painting some models into Scottish Bus
group colours. I amt at present trying to get the best match for
Eastern Scottish. I note that Mark Budd recommends Halford Ford Laurel
Green and Panam Beige. Has anyone else got any recommendations. Also
any suggestions as to where I can get transfers for company addresses,
fuel oil, emergency exit etc. Thanks
