A C Bristol Block paint color
« on: January 05, 2009, 22:53:30 »
I own A C Bristol BEX 490 and am rebuilding the engine. Can anyone provide me with the correct paint manufacturer and color code? I understand it is a light sage gray. Is it the same clor as the block on an Austin Healey BJ8?

   Tony Byford is one of the main names associated with rebuilding early BMW and Bristol engines with customers all over England, Europe and USA for Road and Track use.
   
   He has the correct colour code and paint source for  Bristol 100D,   100D2 & BS Blocks.
   
   His email address is:- Tony at abyford dot wanadoo dot co dot uk
   
   Send him a email and he should confirm manufacturer, code and specification. (If it's not 100% correct colour itsa as near as you a likely to get.)
