No, What I said was:
"And I defintely do not believe Leyland could match 1958 bugeye OEW with
Jaguar 1970 OEW. For one thing I suspect the paint chemistry changed by
that time."
What I mean is stoving enamels were probably gone by 1970 and they moved on
to acyrilics.
For this reason I think if you parked a 1970 OEW Jag next to a 1958 OEW
Bugeye they would not look
the same (assuming they both had original paint).
Buster, we each have a small patch of OEW original paint on our cars to look
at and compare to.
Have you considered the possibility that if I parked my car next to yours
right now
that they might just match up?
Also, I hope you did not paint over your original "virgin patch". It is
still there..Right?

By "chemistry" I assume you mean formulae. It is for that reason that I
believe that the only way to get the match is through spectrographic
analysis of "virgin" paint. That would be paint never exposed to sunlight
or other elements of nature. Mine "virgin" paint was under the tail light
assembly protected by the original rubber gaskets.
