Title: Colour Scheme for FC 219 Post by: zulu on July 13, 2006, 08:17:51 AM G'day all, would anyone have a colour swatch / book of FC colours that I could have a look at.
The time is drawing near when I have to make a decision what colours to paint our FC Standard Wagon. Have tried the tech section, but need to see the actual colours to decide. Ta, Gary Title: Re: Colour Scheme for FC 219 Post by: RET on July 15, 2006, 04:10:17 AM Gary,
I have a BALM paint book, but it's unfortunately a poor indicator of true colour, since the paint swatches in it have darkened with age, and the formulae are for nitrocellulose lacquer (or lead enamel) not acrylic or 2-pack, so they don't translate at all - the tinters are completely different. However, the limited data I have has records for FC-219s in the following colours: 173 - India Ivory (1 car) 194 - Skyline Blue (7 cars) 196 - Ice Green (1 car) 351 - Adobe Beige (3 cars) 352 - Cape Ivory (1 car) 355 - Ascot Grey (4 cars) Ken might have some more data on top of that. Hope that's some help. cheers RET Title: Re: Colour Scheme for FC 219 Post by: zulu on July 15, 2006, 04:34:52 AM Ret, one of those Ascot Grey wagons is mine, but I'm not sure about having another grey car ::)
I might send Ken a PM Thanks Title: Re: Colour Scheme for FC 219 Post by: mcl1959 on July 17, 2006, 09:00:47 AM Gary I also have Cambridge Blue and Hialeah Green. I don't have a colour swatch book either though.
