Barry Price Paint CodesAnyone struggling with colour codes… Well I have good news firstly it seems I can still use the original ICI codes and cross reference them with my supplier who uses Nexa which is ICI or I have managed to have Admiralty Blue and Silver Birch formulated in Spectral 2K. I’m working on other colours as I paint them so I’ll let you know as they come up or if there is a colour you would like I’ll see if I can get a reference.

We ar edoing a full respray of a 1963 MK IA which is grey with blue interior. I believe the name of the external colour is Smoke Grey BU15. We had a sample made up by a reputed autopaint supplier and that came out totally and utterly wrong. We have found a spot under the bonnet which we use as a sample, and have found what we consider right.
Perhaps the paint supplier made a mistake when mixing BU15 - if you know of another paint colour code, which we can test to get even closer to the correct result, we will be happy.
As for paint quality, we decided to go against cellulose paint because of the maintenance involved, and instead use a modern 2-component grade of paint.
