I’m in the process of painting my U-14.
I got Wimbledon white for the wheels, bumpers, grille and top. Today I shot it on some of the pieces. It looks good, but I sure seems to me that the top used to be a brighter white. I don’t have any good shots of it, but the ones I do seem to show it whiter than Wimbledon.
I did find a color card that has a Pure White chip on it, which looks closer to what I remember on the top than Wimbledon. The photo says 1965, but the 66 card referred back to the 65 for PureWhite.
Here is a before and after shot of the grille, and to me, it looks like a good match. These are the best shots I have of the top in what I’m nearly 100% is it’s original paint.
I may get some Pure White mixed up for the top, and give it a try. Or I may just use Wimbledon.
What do you think?
