Bill,
I must have thrown out the paint chip but I am going to be doing some touch up in the wheel wells (where first one came from) and I am sure I will get another.
Email me an address and I will get one mailed out to you. hootersvilledavid "at" yahoo "dot" com

I have the paint codes recorded, however the power supply for the external hard drive they are on is toast so going to be a while till I can get it from there. (ordered new PS today when I learned it was dead).

I was going to look on that drive, as I discovered today the labels on actual paint cans has faded away ...and 1 has a tear in it.
My painter used 2 kinds of paint: 1 on "top" and another for wheel wells as it was supposed to hold up better to stone chips. (Paint chip will be from that area...some more of it is lose.)

Both PPG products : (looks like)
8273 Florentine Yellow 188??

Here are the cans:

Bill,
Next pic is My TF with the bonnet from Tom's 48 TC on back of the car.
Florescent lighting and day light with garage door open in "Day" shot.
We know very little on the history of the TC so no idea if this is "original" paint or not.
The wings and fenders were definitely re-painted a dark brown at some point, but looking at it my guess was they were not removed from the car to do so. There is Ivory/Yellow paint at bottoms of the wings where panels were left in place.
I don't think Tom will mind if I remove a chip sample from that to mail to you.

Hope this helps!
