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>><br>> Earl Kagna<br>> Victoria, B.C.<br>> BJ8, BT7 tri-carb<br>><br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: <a ymailto="mailto:llennep@verizon.net" href="mailto:llennep@verizon.net">llennep@verizon.net</a> <mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:llennep@verizon.net" href="mailto:llennep@verizon.net">llennep@verizon.net</a>><br>> Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2017 5:44 PM<br>> To: <a ymailto="mailto:jwhlyadv@aol.com" href="mailto:jwhlyadv@aol.com">jwhlyadv@aol.com</a> <mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:jwhlyadv@aol.com" href="mailto:jwhlyadv@aol.com">jwhlyadv@aol.com</a>> ; <a ymailto="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a><br>> <mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>><br>> Subject: Re: [Healeys] Color Guide<br>><br>> The code is WT3 if I am not mistaken.
