Title: Paint Code/Trim Code Matrix??? Post by: Ute-opia on August 01, 2002, 12:05:59 AM My FC ute is being re-christened in "Hialeah Green" (paint code 350) but I'm wondering which trim code(s) rolled off the production line with this colour???
Lagoon Green? Cool Green? Italian Green & Lymph Green? Peacock Green & Dolphin Green? Tasman Green & Egret Ivory?......or were there "complimentary colours" that weren't even green? I appreciate that utes didn't come with many/any of these and that utes didn't come in Hialeah Green either but I'm more interested in getting a "factory combination". (I can always fib then and say my grand-dad was a Holden executive in 1959 and this was a "special one-off"......and except for the fact that I'm a Yank, someone might believe me!) :o ....Also, what colour "wind lacing" should I order from rare spares??? What was available back then, "Henry Ford Black"??? ;) Title: Re: Paint Code/Trim Code Matrix??? Post by: RET on August 01, 2002, 03:16:32 AM There was a bit of discussion about ute colours here: http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=resto;action=display;num=1013380047
Long and short is that Hialeah Green wasn't a ute colour, only Duchess Green and Ice Green. Ute interiors being what they were (single-tone vinyl), there was only one green option, called "Dravo Green". You can find the list here: http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/fctrims.html cheers RET Title: Re: Paint Code/Trim Code Matrix???

According to a recent thread RS have limited supplies of one of them, but plenty of the other. cheers RET Title: Re: Paint Code/Trim Code Matrix???

That's one awesome looking ute cab! I'll do my best to emmulate that......but I'd still like to pretend that once upon a time utes came in "Hialeah Green" and so I'd like to select one of the trims that used to be paired up with this u-beaut colour? I probably didn't pose the question very well though. I reckon I should have written, "My granny used to get around in a Hialeah Green sedan but I can't quite recollect the interior?".....and as sure as rain within 15 minutes you or Ken would have had a photo posted of the interior, the trim code, and probably even my granny at the wheel! (how do you guys do it??) :o |
