Getting a Paint Code - Help!
- Thread starter Ron Earp
- Start date
Hmm... Should be easy... Go to any store & pick up a copy of the DuPont registry. There's alwaws a bunch of Lambo ads in it. Several Lambo dealers use the correct color names, versus just 'black', 'orange' etc. I suppose you could always call the dealer, ask for their Parts/paint shop, and ask them. Any good paint supply should be able to mix it for you. The will need either the name or the paint code. Good luck!

Ron,
Theres a Lamborghini franchise here in High Wycombe UK and the boss is also a GT40 nut - has had a Saphir - and I'll show him your picture on Monday. What he doesn't know about them isn't worthy of comment.

Ron,
That color is called Arancio Atlas or Metallic Orange. The PPG paint code # is
0058.

Ron,
I was given a different paint code from Bill so this may need checking unless its a different paint ,say, from PPG.
The paint shop at Modena cars are saying its 0056 GIALLO ORION MICA, which is a 3 stage pearl. The ground coat is flatted totally blemish free, the base coat is the same code
paint , and finished with a lacquer.

David,
You are more than likely correct about the paint color code. I took an non-educated guess from a chip on a color chart. It isn't the best way to pick a color, especially for the color challenged, like myself!
Ron,
My sincere apologies for the error!
