Post by Stevie R »

Please can anyone advise where I could find the paint code for my 1958 convertible, and also recommend a paint supplier

It is not listed anywhere on the car beyond a basic generic colour. What colour is it, then. we can give the original paint codes.

It’s white somebody said it was snowberry white but I’m not sure if that colour didn’t come into production later than 1958

There was a cream colour in that period but Snowberry is much later in the 1960s. It may of course have been re-sprayed and if not completely, the original colour should be found eg behind door cards / glove compartments / under dash etc.
