Thanks Earl,
I have large half page samples in my book of the updated OEW. It seems color
matching the samples is the way to go.

Jim:
Are you aware that Don Pikovnik rematched 2 colours shortly after the book
came out - Primrose yellow, and Old English White. He sent revised pages to
those he could track down - I have the book, and the modified page. The OEW
sample is not that much different, but it is definitely noticeable. I have
one of the original BJ8 hardtops still painted in it's original OEW paint,
and the modified sample is pretty much a perfect match, while the original
sample in the book is a tad off. It might make a difference to your friend.
I would think that with modern paint systems technology, a competent auto
paint shop would be able to match a colour sample accurately with their
'cameras' - with a white, it shouldn't be a problem. When I painted my
Golden Beige Metallic BJ8 a while ago, we elected to go with the paint
manufacturers formula for the colour. Not sure that it is a perfect match
for the original colour, but seeing as how it's a tough metallic colour to
deal with, at least there's a better chance of a match if the paint is ever
damaged in the future.
Let me know if you need a scan of the rematch card - for the explanation of
the whole thing - not the colour.

The code is WT3 if I am not mistaken. That was used on my BJ8.

I have a friend who wants to paint his car and is looking for paint
information. I have a copy of Don Pikovnik's Guide to Historic Colors and he
likes the OEW sample in the book.
The book gives a ICI reference number so what do we do now? Is that
transferable to other brands or how does this work?
