[ROVERNET - UK] Re: P3 engine block colour

Fri Aug 27 00:30:57 BST 2004

Hello Scott and group.

The original colour is a light blue/grey.

I can vouch for the fact that Scott's "recipe" produces very close to the 
original. The only problem is that the original BMC engine colour, which I 
think may be unique to OZ built BMC stuff, is probably as hard to find as 
the original Rover stuff.

I had some mixed up off a piece of BMC engine junk I had here. Got none 
left, a lad up the road scoffed it and painted his bike with it!!

If someone does ever get some Rover mixed up, it would be great if the 
"formula" could be saved. If standard colours/tints were used it would then 
be easy to replicate.

There is now a service in Taswegia which allows any household paint colour 
to be replicated using some sort of "spectrometer" technology. If I could 
find something small painted in the original colour I would try the system out.

Best regards to all,
