Raw material changes challenge paint formulation
                               RAW MATERIAL CHANGES HAVE A BIG IMPACT
MAIN COMPONENTS OF PAINT       FOR PAINT ASPECTS ON HISTORIC VEHICLES
                               Raw material production stopped / cancelled due to legal
                               requirements (e.g. REACH) or econonic decisions. All components of
                               paint concerned.
                               - Actually: Chromate containing pigments banned
                               - Many solvents banned / limited: Xylene, Toluene, Benzol
                               - VOC legislation limits solvent amount / mostly excempt solution
                                 for historic vehicles
                               - Discontinuation of pigments have a huge impact on mixing
                                 formulas

                               Shelflife of paint is limited. Any new paint means a combination of
                               old substance with “freshly” produced material.
                               Color matching can be limited due availability of effect
                               pigments/metallics and/or metamerism.
                               A full paint system (Primer, Putty, Fillers, Topcoat etc.) with old
                               technology is possible and extensive but follows the same logic as
                               mentioned above.

Getting a project recognised by UNESCO:
- Patronage of an event - 8 steps how to go ahead published on the UNESCO Webapge,
   Culture commission stays a support party in the project (letters, assistance in
   contacts, communication and explanation of why the support to the project)
   (IMPORTANT! – clarification and explanation of the project to UNESCO on the
   application has to be prepared carefully and well thought through)

- World heritage List - Outstanding Universal Value means cultural and/or natural
  significance which is so exceptional as to transcend national boundaries and to be of
  common importance for present and future generations of all humanity. (Detroit FORD
  Piquette Avenue application failed)

- Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists - An intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is a practice,
  representation, expression, knowledge, or skill, as well as the instruments, objects,
                                                                                              TO
  artifacts, and cultural spaces that are considered by UNESCO to be part of a place's
  cultural heritage

- Memory of the World list- UNESCO established the Programme in 1992. Impetus came
  originally from a growing awareness of the parlous state of preservation of, and access     FROM
  to, documentary heritage in various parts of the world. (Concrete of Gyon, Hungary)

                                   “You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the
                                   only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And
                                   the world will live as one.”
                                   ― John Lennon

THA unites over 130 independent heritage organisations in England as a powerful,
effective and independent advocate for heritage.
It identifies the overarching messages from our members and puts them across to
opinion formers and decision makers.
They have a membership of 6.3 million volunteers, trustees, members and staff.
                        The largest member is the National Trust.

For over half a century the Transport Trust has campaigned for
               Britain’s immensely important transport heritage in all its forms, on
               land, in the air and on the water. It focuses on past successes,
               current activities and the future needs of transport restoration &
               preservation.

                           Significant Transport heritage
                           sites are marked by erecting a

UNESCO – Irish approach: Open Call – National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage

I recently met with officials in the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to seek to
have Historic Motoring included in a proposed new National Inventory of Intangible Cultural
Heritage.

The first step is to submit an expression of interest for their consideration. This involves some
basic facts and background details to establish if it will meet their criteria. The officials were
encouraging and I am hopeful that I will be able to make a successful submission to meet their
requirements.

The Department has already accepted Uileann Piping (2016) and Hurling (2017). The IVVCC will
be making a submission also.
