    TD Colour Codes

    I have a 1950 TD (Car No 765) and and she is undergoing a complete rebuild.  She was originally red but had a change some 30 years ago to BRG.  I intend to paint her Ivory with red interior.

    As usual, the original colour formulas cannot be matched with modern pigments so I was wondering if anyone has a paint formular which is as close a match to the original?  I note that in the Winter 2010British Motoring there is a TD done by Dale & Judy Zinn from Indianna.  If anyone has their contact as the picture is pretty close to the colour i am looking for.

     

    Many thanks from down under,

    I restored my 1950 MGTD to its origainal color, Clipper Blue, by matching te original paint under the straps that hold the gas tank on. Did both a visual and computer match. In your case you would need to find someone who did that with a white one.
