Not just at the moment Paul, but I'll have a bit of a dig around

Hey Errol
Do you have similar information for the silver and grey 1980 "G" ? Just accumulating info for reverting the ol girl back to her original pre chrisso paint scheme.

Thanks Steptoe,

I'm with you, The numbers are all gobbledegook but I'm sure the paint shop guys will know.

  this info posted by Ev a while ago



here's the formula for Macho Maroon. Your local paint shop should be able to
decipher all the numbers and what they mean. It. actually is a 3 part paint.
with a base, mid, and clear coat. good luck!! All mixtures are for pints
BASE COAT DDL 51197

MIXTURE FOR BASE COAT
DMA 362 425
DMA 358 470
DMA 310 498

MID COAT DDL 51198

MIXTURE FOR MIDCOAT
DMA312 1
DMA358 43
DMA307 74
DMA360 358
DMA362 438
DMA363 479
DMA310 503
These are all for lacquer and a clearcoat on top.

and from Chris Rawson a few years ago
For all those looking for a paint code to use
I had my tank colour scanned at the local PPG store, this is what they
came up with for a basecoat/clearcoat mix.


Colour name is Amaranto

Quantities are for 1 (US) pint

Code-------Colour------Cumulative------Parts
DMD670 Quindo V 119.2 119.2
DMD647 Strong B 183.2 64.0
DMD622 Red Oxide 254.6 71.4
DBX1689 Basecoat 509.2 254.6




Tis all gobbledegook to me but a good paintshop should be able to sort out the codes

Hi folks,

Does anybody out there have the colour codes for Macho Maroon 78E and the red in the 81H?


Thanks
