Alex,
If you are looking for the primrose yellow or the pale yellow I did my TR3A in
a Mazda yellow a few years back. The yellow is called midnight yellow and is
a dead ringer for the pale yellow circa 58 - 62. The formula was mixed for
single stage DCC acrilyc enamel. (SP?).
It is getting real hard for the paint shops to convert the old codes into the
new paint mixtures. It took PPG about a week to research, locate the formula
for Spa White in DCC for my TR4 project.
I can supply you with a photo if you like and the formula off the can.
