ShaunG Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Hi, I am restoring my family owned from new 1954 TR2, and need some help please reference the paint colour. On the original receipt it is pearl white, however this is now discontinued. Could anyone please help with the modern equivalent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) Welcome to the forums Shaun. No doubt someone will be along soon with an up-to-date answer but in the mean time there have been several discussions about this colour in the past as a forum search will show, e.g. : - (click on the arrow top right to see it) Edited March 17 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Hi Shaun, yes welcome to our forum, and congratulations on restoring your families Tr2.

Rod1883 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 A dig around t'internet comes up with this link to a list on the TR Register France webpages. On there it says that Pearl White for the era is ICI code 2857. My car was originally Pearl White and when it was restored ~11 years ago I considered putting it back to original colour from the orangey red it was at the time, but as you can see, I didn't.

Give Ken or Lynn a ring as they will be able to supply you with the correct colour as they have for me for more than 20 yrs https://www.carrestorationpaints.co.uk/ FWIW I have not long refinished this Italia in that colour .
