Another paint code

Post by **lucyww** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 6:10 pm

Hello,
in anticipation that I WILL get my traveller up to the stage where she gets painted, I need a paint code. Old English White is the colour. A cheap stockist would be nice too. I'm going to have it done at the local garage so it can be oven dried but they want me to provide the paint and correct primer....Is there a correct primer?
Thanks all

It is. It is!
Thankyou. Any useful bits of info on Primer? And can I get the paint anywhere. I ask because someone has painted my Traveller in Magnolia emulsion so I'm quite keen to get it right this time.

My first Mog was brush painted with Woolworths Royal Blue Gloss.
The only reason i know this is because the guy i bought it off left the tin in the boot! Many layers of barrier coat and spray putty not to mention weeks of elbow grease and it was redone in the original colour!
Young and naieve i suppose but just fell in love with the car. Magnolia emulsion!!!! Now that's something else.

if its painted in emulsion, leave it in the rain for a few days and it'll soon be gone!

There is a useful paint colour code webpage at

http://www.morris-minor.co.uk/p708.htm

Old English White WT3 ICI Ref 2379 1960-1967

and a good chart at;

If you look at the chart the original owner has added some other numbers to Old English White they might be useful. Try putting them into google and see what they turn up.
