My '59 TR3 restoration is in a similar stage and the painting is to begin
within the next month. I am having it painted its original color, which is
powder blue, so as soon as my painter gets the paint, I can let you know
what the modern code is.

Good Evening, All.
The very good news is that our TR3 restoration is in its "final" stages
(knowing that this, too, can be long and drawn out).
We have decided to paint the car a powder blue, which was introduced in
1958.
According to Piggott's Original Triumph TR, the Dockers paint code is CGB77,
or CHC38, or ICI HILUX M-048-8013, Pinchin-Johnson PJ 426HS or PJ 426LB, or
Berger (Ault and Wiborg), 20539.
Does anyone have a modern correlation to any of these paint codes or know of
where I might find one?
thanks.
