chris Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hey All, I just registered. My TR-3A will be coming home after 3 years lounging in a body shop and still not finished. That will be done by me. Does anyone have a source for the original paint codes/formulae for the light green paint that was current in 1959? TIA chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Chris, When I was after paint codes for my TR3a, I sent an email to technical@tr-register.co.uk and received a table of paint codes back. I am not near a copy machine at the moment but it does contain an Apple Green and the codes are: GIP Ltd GLS5454; ICI2920 or 2472; Berger (Ault & Wiborg) 18353 Having just bought load of cellulose, I found that the cheapest supplier was a company called Classic Car Paint Supplies in Birkenhead. If you google Classic Car Paint Supplies or Autopaint International you should find them. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
