[Healeys] Color Guide

[Earl Kagna]

Jim:

Are you aware that Don Pikovnik rematched 2 colours shortly after the book 
came out - Primrose yellow, and Old English White.  He sent revised pages to 
those he could track down - I have the book, and the modified page. The OEW 
sample is not that much different, but it is definitely noticeable.  I have 
one of the original BJ8 hardtops still painted in it's original OEW paint, 
and the modified sample is  pretty much a perfect match, while the original 
sample in the book is a tad off.  It might make a difference to your friend.

I would think that with modern paint systems technology, a competent auto 
paint shop would be able to match a colour sample accurately with their 
'cameras' - with a white, it shouldn't be a problem.  When I painted my 
Golden Beige Metallic BJ8 a while ago, we elected to go with the paint 
manufacturers formula for the colour.  Not sure that it is a perfect match 
for the original colour, but seeing as how it's a tough metallic colour to 
deal with, at least there's a better chance of a match if the paint is ever 
damaged in the future.

Let me know if you need a scan of the rematch card - for the explanation of 
the whole thing - not the colour.

The code is WT3 if I am not mistaken.  That was used on my BJ8.

I have a friend who wants to paint his car and is looking for paint 
information. I have a copy of Don Pikovnik's Guide to Historic Colors and he 
likes the OEW sample in the book.






The book gives a ICI reference number so what do we do now? Is that 
transferable to other brands or how does this work?
