Luego colour

Hi Guy's


Can any one help.

I am trying to find the colour code or name for the purple luego colour in the old brochure as im trying to get some GRP side panal's made.

I was (and guess I still am) trying to find out the ral codes for one of the blues they did. Contacted Luego and they weren't sure of any of the old ral codes! Or at least not for the blues as there were a couple! Might be worth a try though. If you find any of the codes, would be good to post them up, I am sure plenty of others might be interested.

Are the panels for a velocity or a viento?

The side panel's are for the velocity and i post the codes if i find out.

Not much help for you but if anyone needs to know, i have in the garage, the codes for lueo's Melon Yellow & the light grey chassis colour that they used.

I also have a RAL colour book here (from where i used to work) it has many pages of colour swatches, if anyone is ever in my area & needs to take a look, i will dig it out, alternatively i could pop it in the post when i find it if you wouldnt mind sendingit back to me ??

Is that the light grey that turns into a rusty colour before falling off?

Suspect the best way to get the RAL code is to match it up against a chart as in Andy's offer??

Is the RAL book all the colours in gelcoat?

its all the colours in the RAL range so in theory you can check each little swab against your body colour until you find a match & then you know the paint code, i used to be a colour checker in my old job - if you have a good eye for colour, mine was actually perfect when i took the test, you should be able to match you body colour with it.

Hi all,

This seems to be a common topic theses days.

The main issue I have is that there are no records for the early Luegos so I'm not to sure which shade of colour they used.
Best way is to get a colour chart and match it. Just to confuse the issue a number of colours used are not RAL colours but have BS numbers, a few are the pigment manufactures own shade!!!

I will try an help with colours where I can, so feel free to email. ben@luegosportscars.com
