<p>Paint has been covered so many time on the lists over the
years...I'm surprised more haven't already chimed in.</p>
<p>I confident there are arguments about which color was avail on
what years... and even my own data is/may be in question in some
situations.</p>
<p>My own color pages were designed to show the DIFFERENCE in the
named colors. (not be absolute representations via the photos)</p>
<p>Regardless....?? white, Sebring, Leyland, Spa and Pearl white all
have PPG codes on the page.? Right or wrong.... these are what
have been identified over the years.<br>
</p>
<p>Whether they were used on earlier cars or not I have no clue as I
was working Spits/GT6 eras.</p>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>Of course, any color mixed today is NOT going to be a match on
your car.? Chemical differences (then? and now) in paints, sun
fade, weather effects etc have all changed these 40+ year old
colors.<br>

seems you feel body panels were a sort of pick and mix in any
colour before final painting? No way! All bodies for all
markets and all models came out of the body shop in white
undercoat prior to going through the paint shop in colour
batches, with cars in black being painted only on Friday
afternoons. This was intentional as Black was not a popular
colour and allowed the spray lines to be flushed through prior
to paint shop cleaning over the weekend.</span><br
