craigyb Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 My car has the classic green with yellow stripe, and wondered if anyone know what's the best touch up paint for both? Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Field Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 CC used to supply the green in small tough up pots - don't know if they still do. Terry 1700XF - Team Lotus with flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenmad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 CC do both colours in small pots, BUT has to mixed with hardener before application otherwise it never cures properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Does anyone know where I can get hardener from, or a product used successfully? Thats something else I need to do over the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmaninshed Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I just opened a sealed pot of CC green touch-up - it was more like treacle than paint, and as you say, it didn't harden. Once spread on (as it wouldn't even brush), after several days it ended up all over clothes etc. I suggest it would be better to find out the code and get this elsewhere.

Dignity Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi Craig, I went to a paint mixing place recommended by a local paint sprayer. They mixed up some paint after comparing my car with numerous colour swatches. It only took them half an hour and i got a litre (way too much) for about 25quid. I was happy with the match. Also from a previous Blatchat search. Here are the paint codes that are apparently used by Caterham. Caterham Standard Colour Mixing Codes Yellow - 1 litre AM44 649 51 658 7 668 1 672.6 AK 100 1180.6 also quoted for yellow: AM44 @ 649 g AM51 @ 658 g AM7 @ 668 g AM1 @ 672.6 g AK100 @ 1180.6 g Green - 1 litre AM 32 277 43 399 6 478 1 488 AK 100 997 I have never used these so I am not sure if they are correct. Maybe someone on here can confirm?? Hope this helps Regards Dignity Ps. I got a cellulose paint which does not need a hardener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric355 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Here's a page I came across a few weeks back which might be useful. There are various formulae listed for the colours. Click the main colour then use the links in the resulting list. Linky Edited by - ric355 on 16 Nov 2010 19:30:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
