RE: [doc] paint colour for front and rear fascias

["Simon Wareham" <simon.regalspire@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I gave a number to the list a while back of a company here in Stoke that can
potentially help out with your paint.

Autocolour Coatings - 01782 747100

The owner, Gordon, and his son, James, have carried out a lot of special
jobs on classic cars and supply both professional and enthusiast restorers.
If need be, they can mix paint to the right colour - He used to keep classic
car colour swatches behind the counter!

I'd be sure that he will be able to sort you out.

Hope it helps.

Simon.
Longing to be an owner :(

I used some Rover stuff too for a number-plate recess panel, and found it
reasonable, if slightly too blue, although it went a bit swirly when I
lacquered it. (in accordance with instructions!)

There was something in Practical Classics a while ago about colour matching
from an existing sample.  There's a few places that do it professionally,
and plenty of old blokes about who've been spraying for years and can match
'just on t'eye, like'.

I live just north of Derby at the mo, and the nearest professional place
I've heard of so far is in Burton on Trent...  I'm about to start the trail
of one-man-bands, but there is (well, was) an excellent chap in Sheffield
managed to perfectly match an obsolete Fiat colour for me a couple of years
ago...
