I'm wanting to pull apart a Trax Opal FC Holden (adobe beige/seminole brown) because I want to repaint it.

I need to be able to get to the interior.
I can't see any obvious screws or leverage points.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks
Allan Quak

Hi
I'm new this forum and saw the "LITTLE CARS" section.
I joined for a different reason but this is an unexpected bonus.

I'm trying to find to buy/swap the Road Ragers 1/87 FC Holden in Fountain Blue.
I have an India White version that I could swap with you ...

Cheers
Allan

 
SUCCESS!!

Eastern Auto Paints have original Terraglow colour chips and old records from a book.
Big shout-out to Jill and the team there who were exceptionally helpful and going above and beyond.

I really appreciate all your help in getting to this point.
When the diorama is done I'll post a couple of photos.

Have a great day

Thanks All.
One thing is obvious - the FE/FC people in Australia are really well connected!

On the basis of all the wisdom there is a good chance Dad isn't going to remember the colour clearly either.
I'll start at Eastern Auto Paints on the chance that someone has paint matched.

If that is a miss then ... Ken ... was the photo you used as the colour on the trax vehicle a digital one?
If I can get a copy I'll get it properly printed and use this as the basis.

If that fails there is always Stewy's idea.

No matter what I now have a solution ... for which I am very appreciative to you all.

DJ ... thankfully Adobe Beige is easy to get.

Stewy.
"I can post it to you" ... that is incredibly generous of you!
If I am still floundering at the end of next week I might take you up on the offer.
I've just googled Trax/Top Gear and they have plenty of contact info ... which tells me they are happy to chat.
I'll try them tomorrow

Thanks for the response DJ.
I did find John through a google search - as you said great models - on this question he also was at a loss.
Then he suggested I try this forum!
Cheers

I'm on a mission.  In August my Dad turns 70.  His first car was an FC Holden - Paint Scheme was Terraglow over Adobe Beige.
I'm going to modify a Trax FC Seminole Brown over Adobe Beige and make a small diorama as a gift.
But I am stuck ... I cannot get the paint formula for Terraglow (code 9665). Not even the very helpful technical people at Dulux-PPG were able to find it.
There is an FE FC facebook page, but their huge collective wisdom hasn't sourced an answer yet.

I've searched this forum and "terraglow" comes up a few times but as far as I can see no specific formula.
Has anyone here, or does anyone here know someone, who has colour matched the Terraglow colour?
I know Trax has put out an FC in the reverse scheme - Adobe Beige over Terraglow - maybe someone who worked on that project can help?
Even getting the name of a modern colour that is a close match would be great.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Regards
Allan
