[TR] Spitfire 4 Paint Colors

[John & Pat Donnelly]

TCP stands for Tri-City Paint. I work about 1/2 mile from the store, and
have to tell you that I recommend them highly. Their staff is very
knowledgeable and take the extra steps to get it right. They've been
supplying the autobody folks around Southern Cal for years.

Scott,
When I had my '75 Spit painted this spring, I used the PPG paint code from a
scanned sheet on this site:

With the PPG paint code, most any decent paint shop should be able to mix it
up for you - or you can order your paint direct from these folks.   I had my
Delft Blue 'translated' from the original single-stage to a base-clear 2
stage.  I've never seen a Spit with original Delft Blue paint, but I'm sure
happy with the color as it came out.

Hello,

I'm in the early stages of planning a restoration on a '64 Spitfire 4 and
would be interested to know about any known paint color samples available
for
this model year. I know that Donald Pikovnik (Vintage Color Register) was
doing some paint color work and offering color samples for other cars, but
I'm
not sure whether he did any of this with the Spitfire colors....

Thanks for any assistance.
