My local paint supplier doesn't have listings for the colours I'm after ....probably simply because the computer doesn't 'go back far enough' ....anyone know where to get code / mixing formulae for two pack paints
For the record it's Armstrong siddely colours. Cream and Ivory and Dark Blue and Sapphire Blue _________________ '60 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire

If you haven't found any by the time I next see him, I'll ask my mate, he has a lot of paint chips from the 50s-70s. The paint components might not help, though, because some modern paints have tinters of different shades than were available back then. |

Hi
Ifg the chips are accurate modern body shops or paint suppliers usually have scanners which analyse the colour and come up with a matching mix, I know that's what my employer, a crash repair company, does. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Hmmm ... this has merely been a catalyst for the ' I think I wanna change the colour of it anyway' line of thinking!!!! _________________ '60 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire
