    PaulAlex Mk2 Escort Colour

    Evening all,
    Does anyone know what colour Paul Alex finally painted his Mk2 Escort? I’ve done the usual forum search and can only find references to Ermine White and BMW Mini Pepper White...

    I have my Mk1 in paint next week and going through the usual struggle of deciding on the right shade of White (with gold ML’s). I don’t want a modern Frozen white and at the same time don’t want completely cream either!...Pauls car does look good though!

    thx in advance

    We always did our MK2's in good old Ford Diamond white. A Mk1 does look good in period Ermine white.

    Wow, that’s a nice build. Ermine does suit the Mk1.
    Thx

    My mate originally sprayed it for him, it was a Bmw mini colour from what I remember.

    I did my mk1 in Ermine-can't quite remember but I think it was a Rover or MG shade as that's what we were given. I think the creamier shades suit the mk1 better, and the brighter diamond shades for the mk2.
