Hi John.
My TR2 was originally Ice Blue. I received from the list, a PPG paint code
for Ice Blue and had a sample made up at the local auto paint store. Their
idea of Ice Blue is a nice light blue. Until recently, I didn't know how
wrong their color is.
After removing my TR2's stone guards, I found a sample of original paint,
still somewhat shiney. It's impossible to describe properly. Also, after
cleaning 45 years of Texas Dirt from the inner fender well, I found it to
have never been repainted (apparently, when the car was painted red, the
fenders were left on, thus the underside was never touched). So, I now have
lots of samples of Ice Blue.
But. I currently have pictures of the wheel wells in the camera. I have
only developed photos of the fender under the stone guard. I have yet to
setup the web page that will ultimately have this picture, but I put it up
so you can see. The only downside is I used a halogen work lamp for extra
light, and it gave the picture a different hue. It'll be about a month
before I get a chance to get a better, natural light photo, so this will
have to do for now.
Anyways, here's the link to the photo I do have.

It's an interesting color, to say the least. Let me know what you think of
it.
I hope this is helpful.
