Title: FC van ready for paint - grey or green? Post by: cam58tiger on March 04, 2013, 09:01:35 AM Hi all, my FC panel van is at the paint stage.
I've always had in mind to re-do the original Ascot Grey, but have had a re-think on grey and thinking of something less primer-looking (no offence to all the grey FE/C's out there!) I had a light green FC van in early '90s (pic attached). I'm leaning towards this colour. So I was wondering - how do I find out the colour (wrecked the body & didn't keep tag info). Or should I just stick to repainting the old girl in orig colour - The van will be stock. [p.s. - I'm wanting to buy a decent FE/C steering wheel if anyone has one for sale??] thanks Cam (http://s15.postimage.org/98hgla2if/greenvan.jpg) ($2) Title: Re: FC van ready for paint - grey or green?

Or Ice green 256-2100 Both these are original FC van colours Ken Title: Re: FC van ready for paint - grey or green? Post by: fasteddyfc on March 04, 2013, 04:59:08 PM I'm having the exact opposite drama with my fc ute. It was Hialeah green but I think I prefer grey, but I don't want it to look too much like primer it will have to be real glossy if I go grey

Another reason I was thinking of going green is that I saved the bench seat & door trims from the green van, both in good nic an they're all i've got to use. thanks fasteddyfc for green colour codes! cam Title: Re: FC van ready for paint - grey or green?
