Subject: [TR] Subject: Re: Pain job for 1972 TR6
John,
I took a look this morning at my TR6 books. Bentley repair manual does sho=
w a color code in the SN for white. I was not able to get any information =
to match a factory white 40 years ago. PPG looked through all of their boo=
ks and the only formula they could find was the Jaguar white, which what I =
went with.
My Brooklands Book Gold Portfolio which is a compilation of magazine articl=
es and advertisements had no paint information and I couldn't find any arti=
cle that had information on colors or paint type.
I did not mean to imply that different color body panels were used by the f=
actory and then repainted. My point was that my car, and all other cars I =
pulled parts from over the years were pieced together from wrecks. I was n=
ever able to locate a salvage yard in Sacramento, CA that had white TR6 bod=
y panels. I also could never find an intact left rear tail light assembly =
with all lenses still good--until someone told me about TRF and Moss Motors=
in the 1980's.
Were the TR6 painted with lacquer, and did the paint shop spray the assembl=
ed cars before the engine was dropped in or were the panels already painted=
? The sequence of articles in the Brooklands Book indicates there were pro=
bably manufacturing changes over the years since 1969.
I am attaching 2 pics of the "square threaded" bolts that attached my body =
panels. Can anyone identify? If helpful, I will take some measurements an=
d thread count--not to find a replacement, but to answer an issue that I en=
countered over 40 years ago.
<edited original post>
In the ten years I worked at StandardTriumph in Coventry (1965-1975) I woul=
d comment as follows:
1. White was always available as an original colour on all models with tan,=
black or red trim.
3. If I?ve read the post correctly, it seems you feel body panels were a so=
rt of pick and mix in any colour before final painting? No way! All bodies =
for all markets and all models came out of the body shop in white undercoat=
prior to going through the paint shop in colour batches, with cars in blac=
k being painted only on Friday afternoons. This was intentional as Black wa=
s not a popular colour and allowed the spray lines to be flushed through pr=
ior to paint shop cleaning over the weekend.
