RiF Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 How can one find a colour code for a range of flourescent paints??? Also has anyone got a front picture of their 7 in a really bright orange, possibly flourescent? Need it to show the bonnet and suspension in the picture. If so any chance you could email me at easiclad@tiscali.co.uk Thanks RiF Driving one of the first Duratec 7, and building CA07BON for Henrietta 😬 😬 😬.for pictures of 7 and carbon andCA07BON Edited by - rif on 5 Mar 2009 19:06:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pikey Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I like the Ford Focus ST orange colour. I'm not sure if it's a pearl, Metallic or solid but I am sure it's very funky pic here Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pikey Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Rik yes got there and then the phone rung with the wife telling me she's locked out the house 😔 And then on the way back the gritters were out and you know what a polisher I am so I never made it back ☹️ I will make there one day.

Jason Plato Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 just do a Google images search for "orange Caterham", there are lots of them to see. here is C7 TOP Taffia joint AO with Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 with regards to the colour codes, the comapny you will use to paint the car should have access to colour charts and swatches from their suppliers or alternativley do another search on google for paint codes or car spray paint suppliers and the large suppliers will come up. One great scource of wild colours is a company called "house of colour", they do all sorts of paint effects and some rather mad oranges - in fact any colour thats a bit different here is C7 TOP Taffia joint AO with Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 here is house of color when I enquired they were able to supply paint to your choice of sprayer at quite a reasonable cost vs your "normal" paint costs for something from a mainstream supplier. here is C7 TOP Taffia joint AO with Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiF Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Great, thanks for all your help Just playing with some ideas 😬 😬 😬 Apothecary, your picture is perfect for my trials thanks RiF Driving one of the first Duratec 7, and building CA07BON for Henrietta 😬 😬 😬.for pictures of 7 and carbon andCA07BON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Look up Count - His is Dynorod orange - the problem is that most cameras don't seem to be able to convey the colour into an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_K Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The Ford ST (known unofficially as "ASBO Orange" 😬 ) is a 3 layer mix - hence it doesn't fall into regular pearl/metalic colour. Whilst it looks good, it would be comparatively a lot more expensive to produce (and therefore heavier I guess!) Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussM Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Mattthew Willoughbys 7 is ASBO orange, it looked really good at Curborough recently here Glad to hear it's fixed OK Matt, hope you don't mind me linking the photo Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiF Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 The choice of colours of orange are amazing. I have tried a few but still looking for the perfect on 😬 Thanks for all your help.

mvh Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've just had mine painted ASBO orange! It looks great but i'm sure the bonnet feels heavier! six coats, 2 base,2 pearly stuff, 2 lacquer!! i was hoping mine was the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
