DonkeyDave Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 anyone know the paint code or origin of what Caterham call Mclaren Orange nowadays, ie a burnt orange colour rather than the fluro colour of yore it looks similar to the Citroen Saxo orange colour ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytommo Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 My car is this color too! Excellent choice. I 'd also like to know-if you find out what the code is,please tell me ! Ive got a more than few stone chips to sort out on my unprotected wings Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPandy Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 My car is this colour as well.When I wanted some touch up paint,I rang caterham,gave them the chassis number (just in case) then they ordered some from TSK for me. Had a few problems: caterham said I'd have to wait until they had a car going down to TSK to be painted in the same colour and that could take a while ☹️ TSK said they wouldn't deal with me directly ☹️ After 2 months or so I rang Caterham who hadn't got back to me about my order only to be told that apot had arrived that very morning All in all a bit of a pain but I have it now.60ml or so costs £10 plus VAT. 😬 Superlight 143 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffiths Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Given the above, it would seem a good idea to obtain a can of paint as part of the car order. That should be easy? Peter 7 Rosina C7 PRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyDave Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 actually I want to paint a whole car (or rather its GRP bodywork) and liked that colour as I had it on my old 7, I need somewhat more than 60ml at 10 quid. I think I'll go to the spray paint shop with my old touch up tin and see how near they can get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Dave, If you can spay a clear varnish on top of the paint ( 2 layers ), your orange color will not discolor so fast and will be more resistend to stone chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
