Andy Best Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If you want Caterham yellow I think you need to go to them. However, as it is for the grill I think there is a general purpose yellow available from Halfords etc that is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Bee Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 There are a number of different yellows. Speak to Caterham or Tony @ TSK TRY 5S Who needs a Duratec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Bee Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 There are great differences between the shades. Best to consult Tony. TRY 5S Who needs a Duratec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted May 26, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted May 26, 2006 Mike, An old link I happen to have on my favourites shows the recipe of "Caterham Yellow" - although beware there may be as many as british racing green variants...!!

JampJ Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Most decent paint suppliers will match your colour and put it in a spray can. Cheers J&J JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Beware, the gelcoat gets dirty after some years and there is no way you can bring it back, if you have a logo witch is scewed on just take it off and you see the difference in color.

susser Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Paint shades are given numbers, which should make the colour repeatable. I got my roll (over) bar powder coated in RAL 1021 (Rap Yellow). RAL 1023 (Traffic Yellow) is a tiny bit darker than "Caterham Yellow" as it appears on my car. See elie's comment. If you look here You will see that 1021 is a tiny bit lighter but near enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
