Tushingham B52 (again)

After 9 years Coleman's Tushingham B52 now has new paint!

That looks mint - great work!

Can’t believe that is 9 years ago!

Who cares how long. It’s progress and it sure does look MINT!

Can you tell me if the white on the frame is pearl white as was use on the 1986/87 Muddy Fox Couriers

Hi Bjellys,

The sales brochure stated they were Diamond White, however when comparing the original colours on my Tushinghams to my original MF Couriers, we found the paint was identical. On comparing the MF Pearlised white to Diamond white it was clear they were not Diamond white.
Diamond white is not pearlized.
Depending on the amount of pearl pigment added to the base white determines your shade of white, the more pearl pigment the browner the tone appears.
It would make sense that the frames were painted in the same colour white as the MF Couriers as they came off the same production line.

HTH
Andy
