Paint Codes

[Trackdayguy]

I got a list of caterham paint codes from Darren at Caterham, but I'm still struggling to find what I need. As far as Im aware the standard Caterham Green is a British Standard colour, code ICI On 29, well that's what Darren gave me. None of the paint system computers have any record of that colour. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Also looking for the paint code for the standard yellow nose band and stripe.

Cheers

Simple enough, call Tony at TSK Erith, he has painted the production cars until they moved it in house. He will know.

Some time ago, I found this information, as I have a green and yellow 7. Please check it first. Trouble is I cannot remember where the information came from.

Caterham Colour codes: Green: ICI GN 29 (British Racing Green) Glasurit 21-21-AST-604
Yellow: ICI PO 30 99 72 (Solar Yellow) Glasurit VWL 10/00M

I found where this information on paint codes came from. It is on page 234 of Tony Weale's " Lotus Seven Restoration/Preparation/Maintenance". I don't think this book is still published and I believe it is sought after.

Yellow stripe.

From looking at the paint codes the closest standard paint that can be mixed is Mercedes "Sunburst Yellow" Its almost identical and when you're starting with nothing it's perfect. Paint code is: 1685

FWIW Vintage green from 2010. My local bodyshop colour spectrometer and computer came back with a match for Caterham Vintage Green paint code CAT003SH. Dropping off a front wing to be repainted.
