lancelot Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Chaps, I've seen various orange cars in Low Flying and have decided it's the colour i'm wanting. It's a metallic, but maybe one of the special ones like 'candy' or 'pearl?' I think it might be Ford Focus or a Lamborghini colour? Can anybody shed any light? Also, i'm going for carbon cycle wings and aerosreen, so if anybody has any links to decent pics of this colour combo I would be grateful.

Drumster Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Lamborghini Pearlescent Orange is definitely a colour a few seveners have if that helps? Chris Alston C7CAT 1800 Supersprint R248.89 ....and then I jumped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Bate Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My recently delivered seven is Lambo Burnt Orange Metallic. Looks great, nice and bright in the sun and a shade darker when not. Got loads of positive comments about it Phil Speak quietly but always carry a strong Superlight SV stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Bate Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 oh yes......have to admit that I had the carbon cycle wings painted as I thought it looked "not quite right" in the raw. 😬 Phil Speak quietly but always carry a strong Superlight SV stick!

Harry Flatters Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My car has a ground coat of ASBO Orange (Ford Electric Orange a la ST) with a top coat of Lambo pearlescent orange. Works fantastically in bright sunlight and stays orange (rather than brown) in low light *thumbup* *thumbup*. *arrowright*Harry Flatters *arrowright* AKA Steve Mell - Surrey AR and Su77on Se7ener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative bluenose Posted November 29, 2007 Area Representative Share Posted November 29, 2007 My car is Lotus Lava Orange which is slightly pearlesant. link here gives you an idea. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The Focus with the 5 cil. turbo has an really bright orange only done for this model, the Ford dealer must have the code for it. I am not sure if i can find it at work with out code or name but i'll give it a try tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Crudders Posted November 29, 2007 Area Representative Share Posted November 29, 2007 The slightly coppery Lambo pearlescent orange as seen on R300 KAT (which seems to be in just about every issue of LF ) and many others is currently featured on Caterham's home page here. Is that the one you're after? Crudders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Flatters Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The Focus with the 5 cil. turbo has an really bright orange only done for this model, the Ford dealer must have the code for it.This is "Ford Electric Orange". Tony at TSK will have the code. Just one word on this colour. It looks the nuts on the Focus ST with all its sharp edges and changes in light direction. However, on Caterham panels that are all roundy or flat the colour just does not 'work' quite as well. This is why we used it as a ground coat on my car and layed Lambo pearl orange on top which then make it really 'work' in all sorts of lighting conditions. *arrowright*Harry Flatters *arrowright* AKA Steve Mell - Surrey AR and Su77on Se7ener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclefester Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I had a close look at Lotus Chrome Orange as a swatch in a pro paint supply place a few weeks back in comparison with the Lamborghini orange, and frankly I couldn't see ANY difference at all! Very strange, unless they were both bought in from some central source by the two companies and renamed. Harryflatters paint may look different as he used an orange undercoat, I don't know as I've not seen it, but in good light, those two colour swatches were 100% identical.

Harry Flatters Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 UF - what a short memory you have - met you at Le Mans this year when you lost your credit card inside the chassis of your Elise. Remember now 🤔 😬 *arrowright*Harry Flatters *arrowright* AKA Steve Mell - Surrey AR and Su77on Se7ener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclefester Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Course I remember! 'Twas a wonderful breakfast we had with Norm before you got into the stands and I was booted out unceremoniously! But I can't say I had a chance to compare the colour back to back with the Chrome Orange from Lotus. Also, IIRC, your car was under a cover?

elie boone Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've just seen the Ford Electric orange an a bike's fuel tank at work, it's really bright orange and not to bad on the curves for color changes. But if you want the brightest orange you should go for the SEM color range,like used on motorbikes unfortunantly they are not waterbased. If u use a waterbased ground layer it's possible the system is just on the legal side 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertie Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I believe it's Lamborghini Aracnhio Borealis. I can look it up in the Gallardo brochure if you like but not sure it'll help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
