My 61 850 had OEW wheels, so did my mate's car, way back when.

grrr... can't find my paint chart anywhere, will have to head back there next time I need touch up paint for a new printout!

But if these guys had it, any local place that mixes paint into a spray can should be able to search it using the main code and/or name and then give you the mixing chart.


Not that easy I'm afraid. The only manufacturer that seem to have the original codes to mix the early BMC colours is PPG (PPG bought out Dulux Paints). I did have some luck years ago with Glasurit because they had an old Dulux database that they could access. It is getting even more difficult to get some colours mixed now because their new tinters dont contain lead and they need to verify their mixes against original samples to be sure.

I have recently (within the last few weeks) requested English Grey and Cherry Red. The grey is no problem but I will need to check the red against a sample.
