Looks very much like the Subaru blue (can't remember the exact name)


saigonij - 19/4/07 at 10:48 AM

anyone know the shade of blue?


Jasper - 19/4/07 at 10:48 AM

If's it's a gel coat you're getting it won't look anything like this


saigonij - 19/4/07 at 10:51 AM

im not sure, but it does not look metalic.


chrsgrain - 19/4/07 at 10:53 AM

Controversial - but could phone Caterham??

Chris
PS Its Blue


Mr Whippy - 19/4/07 at 10:54 AM

I'll go with scooby metallic, quite distinctive.

note the vent at the top of the nose cone

Like this Viento!!!!


Standard colour from Luego,

If it's Subaru it's called WRC Blue and is a fantastic colour...i used to have a Subaru in that colour and gold alloys really set it off!!! Any Subaru dealer can tell you paint code or if you want i can find out from someone who ahs one???? even Halfords can make it up!!


nige - 19/4/07 at 11:02 AM

is it rover trophy blue ????

dam them head lights are huge


Mr Whippy - 19/4/07 at 11:05 AM

Johnmor, not the same colour, I've looked over your motor at in Alford and very nice it was too.

To get that colour you will need to wet spray the car!
If you take a sample to any good paint shop they will match and mix the paint no problem.

bonded on


BenB - 19/4/07 at 11:23 AM

Looks like a metallic version of that....
You can get glitter to add to gel-coat but it tends to look too metallic (big lumps)- less like a "normal" car, more like a dodgems!!!!

Spraying is the way forward but adds seriously to the build...


Mr Whippy - 19/4/07 at 11:33 AM

do you mean metal flake, that's for buggy’s and would look terrible on a real car.

I got 2 ltrs of red for £50 ready to spray from halfords. More than enough for a 7.

Caterham call it Viper Blue.
Have a buddy who's just about to receive their kit from them.


saigonij - 19/4/07 at 11:57 AM

cheers for that - Viper blue.

I did ring Caterham, but they said it was not possible to tell me as they only charge an extra £100 for the customer to choose a custom paint job, so i coudl be anything - his words not mine.

but thanks for the help guys - Viper Blue....

There's a similar metallic colour by Mazda on some RX8, MX5 called Winning Blue and a fantastic one called I think Strato Blue which I saw on a Mazda 3 saloon and is a really deep glossy metallic blue like the MG Rover Trophy Blue colour.

Not sure what the paint codes are though for the Mazda colours.

Cheers

Angus

Mr Whippy,

FYI one of the best put together cars on this forum is finished in metal flake and it looks very good on a road car

Tralfaz - 19/4/07 at 03:58 PM

I plan on using the same paint. I did alot of searching and I 'think' it is Dodge-Viper Blue (as in the same color used on the Dodge Viper Coupe)
