[Healeys] Paint type and color

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

Hello Lin

 

Some years back I repaired a Healey badge with fibreglass resin mixed with red pigment (the stuff used in paint shops to mix with basic colours) and the result was perfect.

 

Took a little time till I was happy with the colour.

 

Some Healey badges have the same cloisonné as those from Austin-Healeys.

I should have added that cloisonné badges that I have seen which required repair seemed to be cracked, often with small pieces of the material missing, while on my badge the color seems to have just “peeled” off.

Bad news Lin, the red in the badges is not paint, it is cloisonné.
Thats a type of glass and paint just doesn't look the same.

 

There are places where you can get it redone.

So I have lost some paint from my  emblem. Anyone figured out what color to use to match?
Thanks.
