[TR] Paint code

[Wbeech@flash.net]

If y’all will allow one more “authority” to weigh in, the VTR Judging Guidlines state, “The canister is painted ice blue (specific color unknown) which takes a pale green caste with age.”

I’ll stick with my Valspar Peacock Blue. 

Cheers,
Bill

The TR Register (UK) forum had a thread on the subject of oil filter canister housings a few years ago.

Note especially the comments by our late, great friend Alec Pringle about his experience with lots of variations and the quite realistic comment that S-T were a lot more worried about keeping lines going and spares supplied than getting details "right" around shade.

The thread has some useful info, but this is one of those don't-sweat-it subjects around our cars.
