<div>I have large half page samples in my book of the updated OEW. It seems color matching the samples is the way to go.<br>

Are you aware that Don Pikovnik rematched 2 colours shortly after the book <br>
came out - Primrose yellow, and Old English White. He sent revised pages to <br>
those he could track down - I have the book, and the modified page. The OEW <br>
sample is not that much different, but it is definitely noticeable. I have <br>
one of the original BJ8 hardtops still painted in it's original OEW paint, <br>
and the modified sample is pretty much a perfect match, while the original <br>
sample in the book is a tad off. It might make a difference to your friend.<br>
<br>
I would think that with modern paint systems technology, a competent auto <br>
paint shop would be able to match a colour sample accurately with their <br>
'cameras' - with a white, it shouldn't be a problem. When I painted my <br>
Golden Beige Metallic BJ8 a while ago, we elected to go with the paint <br>
manufacturers formula for the colour. Not sure that it is a perfect match <br>
for the original colour, but seeing as how it's a tough metallic colour to <br>
deal with, at least there's a better chance of a match if the paint is ever <br>
damaged in the future.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you need a scan of the rematch card - for the explanation of <br>
the whole thing - not the colour.<br>

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

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

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