| Post subject: | Paint colour? |
I am a little confused over the correct colour for the Traveller. The vehicle does not have anything that says exactly what the colour is, however the original owner said it was Old English white. Based on that information I got a small 500 ml mixed and it looks a bit too pinky cream compared to the original areas on the car that have not been touched by sunlight. How many old English whites are there? I had a quick look on the paint charts that winabbey put on the site and Snow White in 67 is a fairly close match at first glance. As the car is a 67 model it makes sense....... however this car was built in the UK so I don't know if those charts relate to English built cars? Thanks Brian |

I think there are two English white early and late I have a berger paint book that lists OEW same tinters and amounts as nurberg white |

No, they don't. I think I've seen some UK BMC colour charts somewhere on the internet. Suggest you do some Googling. If you just want to match without neccessarily knowing the colour name take a painted item from the car along to an automotive paint supplier so they can scan and match. |

It could be Snowberry White WT4 paint code seeing as the year is so close to a MK2 |

Thank you all for the input. I managed to find this using google http://www.mini-colours.co.uk/colours.php?m=1&b=13 (thanks Doug  )
I shall chase these to see if these codes mean anything to the paint supplier and I shall also try to find something to remove from the car that hasn't been painted over. The car has been resprayed once already covering the original colour unfortunately the respray was a poor match. |
