lomax body colours

Post by billp » Wed Oct 25, 2017 2:04 pm

Anyone know if a colour code chart exists for Lomax bodies, or is it a case of getting a car colour chipped at a paint supplier?

I was told that they are standard Pantone colours.
I'm sure someone quoted the code for the blue a while ago.
If you go to a paint shop they should be able to colour match it easily.

Thanks Graham, Just wondered if a list existed as it should be a bit more accurate than trying to chip the colour. On top of that, the weather's been too lousy of late to make a trip to a paint supplier.

Bob, do you have a confirmed code for the light "French/Bugatti" blue colour, please?

Can anybody help with a code for the British Racing Green circa 1994? Is it RAL 6005?
Many thanks

There is no definite colour shade for British Racing Green. The name followed on from Italian Red and German White when British Cars (painted various shades of Green) stated racing in Europe the name ‘British Racing Green’ was coined.

A number (around five or so), of different green paint shades have been represented including Brunswick Green, Buckingham Green, Hunter Green, Forest Green and Moss Green.
