ianfox Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Does anyone know of a paint code which closely matches the Red GRP items supplied by Caterham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted December 5, 2001 Leadership Team Share Posted December 5, 2001 I can answer this after having gone through frustrating times trying to get the paint code also. Caterham seemed to be less than willing to help out. You can buy small pots of matched paint from them, but not an aerosol. Tony Weales excellent book lists the colour as ;ICI 0438 (Post Office Red), B.S. 538”. However, I could not find any paint shops that could recognise this coding, and apparently there are several Post office reds. In the end, a helpful motor factors in Slough mixed me a tin, the formula for which was TB 40-61.0 11-65.3 54-82.4 59-101.7 Ive no idea what any of the above means, but it provided me with a perfect match (as far as I can see) against the paint on my 1991 SuperSprint. Hope that helps, Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
