What colour Orange?
Discussion
...and if I paint my Clubsport this glorious hue, I too will be unbeatable at Combe!
Well I decided against orange (a decision largely inspired by the lack of a colour code!) and went for the same blue (Ultramarine, colour code RAL5002) as my existing bodywork.
Here's how the sidepods look now:-
I told the guy that did the spraying that I didn't want to pay a show-car price. That said, apart from where gel-coat cracks at attachment points show through, the result is not half bad.
For those interested, the paint system recomended by paint supplier, based on the use of Max-Meyer paint products, was as follows
- Primer: Ecophos Primer 6020 "...a 2K chromate-free self-etching primer"
- Undercoat: Top Filler HS "...a high-build 2K acrylic primer-filler"
- Top Coat: Duralit Car: "...a 2K acrylic base for solid colours"
...as you can see then, not very orange!
