#1 Rear View Mirror

Post by ALAN COCHRANE » Tue May 24, 2016 1:22 pm

Hi Everyone

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know the the paint code for the rear cover of the rear view mirror?
My mirror has been completely stripped of it's original colour and I don't have any reference to work with. I've seen one at a recent show and it looked a bit like golden sand. Any help or photos would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Difficult to photograph and get a true colour rendition. It was not a Jaguar product but bought in from Winguard. Any generic metallic gold will do it. More info: viewtopic.php?t=2006&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=97

David thanks for the links. I'm going to try and replicate the colour with my old Humbrol modelling paints. I'll post a picture if the results are any good.
