Paint Help.....

I will be painting the 1100 in a couple of weeks and well its proving difficult to find a company that sell Tawny Brown, one company said they could colour map it, but i doubt they'd be able to get it close

 

I've found this on ebay:

But whats Nitro Cellulose Enamel?? And can i use it in a normal spray booth with the bake?

[PAUL MANN]

hi mucka,i have used jewel paints before,i got the paint code from them for lemans green they had to dust off the old book cant see a problem low baking it,sounds abit like direct gloss,you paint on then flat & polish, have a chat with someone there,i used the one in tamworth

[SebringRS]

Ok Ill have a chat with my boss first then see how i go from there Might get a spray out from the colour map first, see how far it is out Then choose

[PAUL MANN]

you would be suprised how close they can get,good luck

[SebringRS]

Your the second person to say that

 

If they do, do it that way i could be cheeky and ask for a bit more metallic , as i always thought for a metallic Tawny looked abit flat still

[PAUL MANN]

its all in the aplication to get the metalics to stand up ooo errr

[SebringRS]

Thats what she said

 

But problem may be sorted, borrowed my boss's colour map and found a near match, and as im painting the whole car, it didnt matter about it being sort of out But yeah, either that or im giving Nexa Autocolour a ring and see if they still do Tawny, as apparently Nexa took over ICI Got both numbers, so shall try that first

If your stuck pm me and i'll see if i can get it down this end.cant see a problem really.

Have you got both paint codes for Tawny Brown, the Ford one and the mix one, I may be able to get them for you if not. With the name and codes most paint sellers should be able to mix some up.
