ORIGINAL PAINT CHIPS

[BIBBER]

I actually posted this on another forum specific to a project but then thought it may be a very useful website for all BCF'ers....it is a vendor who carries most Color Chips back into the caveman wheel...actually the 30's...helped me out on a recent project,,

<span style="color: #6666CC">BTW: Here's an interesting trivia question...
How many shades of BLUE did British Motors Corporation have available during the years of production 1964 - 1967?
No cheating.......I'll post the answer on Tuesday!</span>

2? Iris & Mineral?

 

[Steve]

I would suggest eight.

 

[jlaird]

Thought it was three?

 

[Brooklands]

I'll go with five.

OK..if this is way off feel free to debate but I did say British Motors, Inc..64' thru 67'..here is an old chip chart and it says 14?........I was shocked!!! but BU-35 is exactly the original paint still existing on my 66 A-35...

Look's like Steve was closest with 8.

So what has he won?

an official right out of the three ring binder yellowed copy of the BRITISH MOTORS, INC. 1966-1967 Color Chart.
Oh yea gotta print it off yourself...

Probably true for the whole of 'British Motors'....MG only had 2...but, then, all the other makes had theirs.
