G'day All,
My question is regarding the colour turquoise & sarasota white, the paint supplier had the sarasota in his list but not the turquoise so I picked one that I thought was close but the sarasota to me was to green (see pic) I have only ever seen one FE in this colour and for memory it was more of a white with a slight green tinge to it just wondering has anyone painted this colour in recent times or does anyone have a car in these colours so I can get more info as these are the colours I have chosen for my van and would like to get them as close as I can.

thanks
Darren

Just in case you have'nt already used this reference ....
http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/gmhpaintnumbers.html
It shows paint code 7473 as Sarasota White, & even allowing for variances on a computer screen it looks like a shade of green standing alone. Maybe it would appear to be a lot lighter next to a darker colour & outside in sunlight.
Hope someone has the right combination for you to compare.

Yes, Sarasota White is actually quite green. Have a chat to Colin in our club - PM me if you need his number.

I only see blue tones on my screen.
I think people here will know this FE & the colours.

Hey Darren
The Trax model could be a reference point as it is Sarasota and Teal.



Also, Colin T has/had a wagon the correct colour, send him a message.
Regards
Alex

Darren,

That car's ID plate says it's Sarasota White, but it was resprayed by an earlier owner, and it's not the right colour.

Like I said, talk to Colin at the next club meeting, or PM me if you want his number.
