It was the excuse I used to never take passengers in the rear. I had 205/60 13in tyres though maybe with the tyres you have you can put those 7s on?

Lmarriott Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 Hi there. You could try Bodyshop Consumables they colour match and could mix this up for you! bscmanchester@outlook.com their email. Pretty helpful, drop them an email if you really cant find the paint as they could mix it from scratch (i know someone that works there ?) 1

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk if you want a rattle can off the shelf, go to "THE RANGE", been in our local one tonight and its there, I doubt they sell much rattle can paint to be honest, as it all seems to be for 70s and 80s cars, even had purple velvet for my mk1 don't ask what the match is like, not tried it yet, but have bought a can of purple velvet to try 2
colr6 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 It obviously didn't sell last time it was on.

Rallye Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 Vista is XSC560 and not same colour as Phoenix, trust me. 1

If that car is done in the 'vista ' orange ' .....what colour is VISTAS car done in ? It may be the photograph but his is a totally different shade to that ?
Rallye Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 It's a mine field Col. Scott’s (Vista) car is more than likely correct, he'll confirm no doubt. The colour does flip depending on lighting, even these two side by side. Yellow decal doesn't help either. The two cars above I know for a fact - Mexico is lighter shade of Vista, Sport is Vista. 1
colr6 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 If you go on some of the paint sites the list Vista and Phoenix as the same colour and same code 1171/70 don't suppose it matters for full respray as to a slight shade variation but a total shit if you need to do only a panel and you've not done the paintwork. Reds/oranges problably one of the worst to match due to fading.
Rallye Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 Very true, from my knowledge Vista Phoenix was a MKII colour, not offered by F O R D on Mk1. Here's a good topic on the subject. http://z7.invisionfree.com/CEOCI/index.php?showtopic=9907 1
RWL81P Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 you can keep your oranges, if my numbers come up tomorrow theres a white rs1600 road car just come on ebay. stunning!
