Whitehall Nevada Beige

[John Moore]

I mentioned this color in another thread as I saw it listed on the BE color chart, but I can't seem to find an image of a BE painted that color on the net.

I thought it might look great with a red interior. Does anyone have or can find a photo of this color?

I've seen some big Healey's painted in metallic beige, but I would think this is different.

There is a person in our car club that has a metallic beige sprite, but I think it is a big Healey color. I've only seen one Beige bugeye. I remember it being yellowish ... but I do not know if this is the color of which you are speaking.

I'll watch for one.

 

[John Moore]

Thanks man, I think if it's a cream color I may like it, but I'm certain I wouldn't want a metallic.

I've seen a few MG's that are sandy beige with a red interior and they look classy.

Here is Ed Sweeney's GT

I found this on a ebay and auction and lifted it. I need to zoom in and see if it's listed. I still can't find the color or swatch anywhere! I'm starting to believe it never existed!

autocolorlibrary.com has it listed, but I do not know if they have a paint code

I've seen it listed a few places but cant find a code or a swatch.

I think Whitehall Beige / Nevada Beige was paint code BG04; it crosses to ICI 3305 in a single stage urethane.

 

[Trevor Jessie]

OK, ICI was purchased by PPG. I'd call a PPG dealer and ask them to call someone at PPG to help with the code. I'm guessing it won't be in their store "system".

 

[Trevor Jessie]

I should clarify... PPG bought ICI's automotive paint line. I do not know anything else about ICI.

oops! I just became Darth Vader. It is time for me to step away from the computer and get a life.

Thanks! But UGGGG! That looks more grey than beige! No wonder you don't see many of them.

That's what was in the bottom of the paint barrel at the end of the model year.

John, I wouldn't trust a color chip on a computer monitor too much. It is just darn hard to get them right. Then your monitor is probably not calibrated exactly right either.

Very true. I was just hoping it would be more of a yellowish beige.

My car was originally OEW, so I'll probably do that or Iris Blue.
