I am in need of mixing some touch up paint asap (the car only came with some blue). Does anyone have the paint code/formula for Caterhams orange, presuming (maybe wrong) that it is the same orange used on my Gulf livery stripe as the orange cars?
Cheers in advance.

If it's Caterham supplied, I believe it will have been painted by TSK. I think the guys name is Tony?
Just did a quick google and came up with 01322 441604.

For reference:

Ok, over here (US) like to work on Paint codes only and Tony tells me that none exists for this mix. The story behind it is basically a colour match to McLaren Orange... Well, though the recipe might make sense to a number of paint shops in the UK the PPG place I went to here didn't have spot on matching tints. I took the nose cone in with me and they computer matched it, the results were about as perfect as could be, the colour is called "Philadelphia Airport Orange"..

Touch up tonight, clear-bra on tomorrow, track at the weekend...
