I'm not sure the original BMC ICI codes are useful anymore for mixing modern
paints.  Here is some information I have collected concerning paint
formulas.  The specific formulas are unique to a given brand of paint, as I
understand.

>From Rich Chrysler, for Healey Blue:
"This was originally a Sherwin Williams U7-5214 basecoat formula that has
been changed to reflect metallic size and colour":


Silver    7006    (pint) 387.5    (quart) 775.0      (gallon) 3099.9
Black     7081    (pint) 395.2    (quart) 790.5      (gallon) 3161.9
Blue      7280    (pint) 410.7    (quart) 821.5      (gallon) 3285.9
White     7282    (pint) 423.5    (quart) 847.1      (gallon) 3388.2
Red       7284    (pint) 435.2    (quart) 870.3      (gallon) 3481.2
Green     7138    (pint) 446.7    (quart) 893.4      (gallon) 3573.6

Your painter should be able to interpret the numbers.

Anybody have the correct codes for "healey ice blue metallic" as appropriate
for a 1964 BJ8?
