WRS1360 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Does anyone know the correct shade of white that the steel wheels should be painted? or something that is near it? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hammond Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Triumph White code 19 if on an earlier 13/60 or wheel silver on later cars. Not sure when the change came about, I believe 1969 model year cars went silver or thereabouts.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herald948 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 According to an early 1963 Service Bulletin, the wheels changed from silver to Spa White:http://www.vtr.org/TR4A/TR4A-wheels.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yep, it's definitely Spa White, not Triumph White as this is a creamy white. Rarebits Bill sells aerosols of the correct colour, labelled as Road Wheel White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herald948 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Technically, I don't think any Herald was ever painted in Spa White except, perhaps, by special order. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an error though, probably down to a misinterpretation of shorthand S/White, actually meaning Sebring White. I've also sen Leaf Green (Lichfield) and Midnight Blue (Monaco), which I think is more than circumstantial evidence!Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first got the car I tried Triumph White and Sebring White and neither was close, then I got the Heritage certificate and bought some Spa White and it matches perfectly!Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year is yours?In my cases, the Leaf Green and Midnight Blue were easy to spot as they were non-existant colours in the Tirumph range! Spa White had me confused and I had to sand down through several layers of paint before finding the original Sebring White,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It's 63, the Heritage cert states it was built in January, I suspect that may be wrong because when I took the seat covers off they had a date in February 63 stamped on them.It was registered by Broadfields in June 63.Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
