Title: Paint Codes
Post by: Sarge on September 30, 2003, 09:31:28 PM

       Before I buy my paint, I want to make sure that I have read the chart right from the techo page. My ID tag reads as follows

No FE-225-20940S
Trim No 200 708AO
Paint No 253-7471
RPO 253-7463 Top

If I am correct is this? Oceanmist Green Body with Huron Green Roof, the reason I ask is when rubbing the car down to metal I didnt come across these two colour. When I got the car it was Huron Green Body with a White roof. Its a 1957 FE specail sedan. Any help here would be great (KEN) as I dont want to paint it the wrong colour and have to do over again. The trim colour have me totaly stumped as well.

Regards & Thanks in Advance
Mark

Mark,  all is correct, although I guess the Huron green had faded to white, it's not a very dark colour.
Interior colour is Tasman Green & Egret Ivory.

Ken thanks very much. Now the paint can go on and I can get some sleep. It was worry me a little, it seemed strange that I didnt come across the two colours when rubbing the car down. Anyhow thanks again for the piece of mind
