<< Hi,
A question raised between myself and some friends over the weekend.
Specifically what kind of paint was being applied to "our" cars at the
factory? Cellulose? Enamel? Something else? One of my friends commented
that the original paint on his Standard 8 (1955) was quite different to
that on his Heralds. I understand cellulose was being used less and less
in the British Auto-industry around this time, so what did they use?
Thanks for any information,
Cheers,
Bill. >>
I believe all TR3's and TR4's originally had lacquer paint. I have also heard
that all TR6's (1969) had enamel. Don't know about TR 250's and TR4A's.
Is cellulose the same as lacquer?
