Buying Paint

I need to get paint for my 1959 TD21. I know the colour is Alice Blue but is there any more information I can give the paint factor to enable them to mix up the right shade? Posted by sotontd21 17/02/2015 23:39:58

Richard,  Much useful information is available on the BB on this subject. Using the search facility type in Alice Blue.  Richard Melbourne Posted by RichardWallach 18/02/2015 03:40:09

I got an original Alvis factory swatch for Alice Blue matched at a local paint specialist - the formula was;  BLVC Zirkon Clean Shade: 61091 72.0 61090 14.5 61088 5.0 61063 3.0 61081 1.0 61090 4.5  Let us know if you work it out - there are many shades of Alice Blue out there - I can tell you that the mix above matched the original swatch perfectly!  Philip Posted by Philip 17/03/2015 11:24:55
