Title: FC Colours Post by: mitch on May 01, 2002, 10:33:50 AM I was wondering if anyone had a list of colours that FC Utes came in? I hear there was only about 7 or so.

Some colours were re-released with marginally different formula's. I can supply swatches of the above colours if required. If you go here http://www.eposode.com/fc_final/Flash/FE_Ute%20change%20color.html you will find you can 'paint' an FE ute in all of these colours except Granite Grey. Cheers, Craig.

I was going down to the paint shop tomorrow to see if they could mix up some Skyline Blue for my FC ute, & then you supply us with the right recipe. THANK YOU!! Saves me alot of stuffing around.

You should bear in mind that these recipes are for the original enamel paint and not for acrylic - that might result in some colour variation. Best to point that out when you get to the paint shop so they can take it into account if necessary. cheers RET Title: Re: FC Colours Post by: 4hammers on May 03, 2002, 05:23:09 AM Hi RET,
Apparently you can get it in the original DUCO. That is what I will try & do. Didn't get to the paint shop today, I went down to a local wreckers & had a look at some FC's (including a panelvan) & a FE (Got the numbers for Ken). When I go down to get the paint, I will post my results. 4hammers |
