I have just been reading the 'What Colour Is My Car?' thread as it seems like I am having the same trouble. I am really struggling to find a part of the car which hasn't been painted many times before in its 44ish years, I have had a sample of glacier white sprayed which I am led to believe is the original colour, but is a long way from the current white paint. I have found minuscule parts which look like glacier white, and when sanding the wing down it went a bluey white, close to the sample, and according to anything I have read it looks like the only white that went on these cars in 1975 is glacier white. Before I commit to glacier white does anyone have any helpful input?

 

Many thanks, 

 

Joseph,

The pictures are not very clear, they looked better before I uploaded them, image 1 is the o/s/r quarter, image 2 is the roof and showing the navy interior, image 3 is a tiny tiny glimpse of bluey white under the layers of paint, and image 4 was trying to show the colour spectrum of the rubbed down wing,
