It would be good to know what paint system the original restorer used so you don't run the risk of incompatible materials. Most of the main companies will be able to cross reference an ICI number

There is more than one OEW, do a advanced search in the archives. There is a muddy OEW and one that is supposedly the same as Ford Wimbledon White. I don't know which is more correct but I went with the Wimbledon White and it looks nice on the hardtop.

Here are some possibilities:
Ivory White
PPG/Ditzler 8177
Dupont Lucite 8207L
Dupont Dulux 97111
Old English White #1
Dupont Dulux 83445
Maybe useful, maybe not: Rinshed-Mason paint equivalent to BMC code from an old factory Tech Service Bulletin
R-M Permax 2U5599R
R-M Lacquer U9938 (good luck finding these).
All of the above are BMC code WT3.
To the best of my knowledge, Old English White and Ivory White are the same color. For earlier cars, the name of the color was Old English White. For BJ8s, it is Ivory White.

What paint formula did you decide to go with? I would be interested in the details if you can get it from your painter. I don't mean the paint code, but the actual mixing formula. I'm assuming your paint is Ivory White or Old English White.
Thanks,

Steve, here's the label on the paint they used:
I left my cameras in Florida by mistake so am relying on my iPhone so these photos really don't capture the warmth and creaminess of the OEW. They didn't do a concours job but for a high-level driver it's pretty decent. I think the duotone is very attractive on Big Healeys.
