The following is probably what you're remembering. It refers to a TR3
though...are they the same?

I'm getting down to the nitty gritty of my restoration project. Does
anyone know the paint number and/or a source for the correct color of
the oil filter canister for an early TR3B (Commission# TCF36L) with the
2138cc engine (engine# TCF54E)? I believe mine is the original canister
and it is a light mint green. Any help is most welcome. My alternative
is to paint it black to match the engine block, but I'd rather have it
authentic.

Joanna, If it is the same color as a TR4 - then it is available from
Ford (yes it is the same as a paint color used on Ford tractors - kind
of a light greenish/blue). Can't remember the name of the color but a
Ford dealer should have access to it if you bring the canister in. Hope
that helps. If not - sorry. I'm sure some TR3 afficianado will let us
know if it the same as the TR4 canister color. Cheers.
