bluerinse Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hello Just checking before my June 69 CP goes off to the painter next week. It is paint code 19 White. Should the w/screen surround be White? Should the sills be Black or White? If black is that up to the trim line or where? Many thanks in advance. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hogan Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hi Mike, it is my understanding that very early TR6's did have the windscreen in body colour. Similarly, the cills should be painted black up to the chrome strip. As a 69 car you might be on the cusp of the change over to black screen surrounds but no doubt fellow forumites will confirm one way or another in dues course. hoges.

iani Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 '69 car should have body coloured windscreen surround and black lower sills, up to the trim line as per Hoges post. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluerinse Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thank you. Just one further question. Is the black on the sill the same satin black as the rear panel? Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waldi Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have my car sprayed with a thin layer of bodyschutz followed by satin black on the sills, same color as rear valence and part of the front valence behind the grille; 1970CP. Believed to be original. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 The original factory colour for the rear panel was matt black for all years. I painted mine Satin though, because Satin is easier to manage. I think the sills were painted with some type f schutz but not sure on that one, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevo_6 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 The original paint used was ICI Matt Black air drying paint reference 062/4523 used in conjunction with thinners ref 851/222. This information was published in Standard Triumph Newsletter no 203 for w/e 18/04/69. This was provided by Derek Graham the TR6 registrar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
