Hi Guys,
Not so sure about FE-FC colours. Tried to find my car colour "Desert Tan", and it was not there!

Very light on in the early Holden colours - Ascot Grey, Olinda Green and Wangarra Grey are the only FE-FC ones I saw in there, and there were only a couple earlier (48-FJ).
Wasn't that the site where the bloke got bent all out of shape over links to "his" video content?
cheers

I found Forrestor Green  Wasn't that the site where the bloke got bent all out of shape over links to "his" video content? We'd better not tell him then, it's not like I copied it and posted it here. I thought the link would help as it gives the info for modern codes, when I called the number for PPG as RET recommended the guy gave me a couple of codes to use which are listed in the tables. |

Would anyone have the recipe for Castle Grey Paint code 7698. Went to Metro Refinishers to get some mixed only to find that their national computer record has no listing for Castle Grey 7698 nor for Corsair Tan 7699.  Mike |

Hi All. I know that a lot of people have a request such as the one i am making but I lloked at a FC Sedan yesterday nad was hoping someone could give me a clue as to if the paint was original and if not the what should it be. The plate reads: BODY ID: FC225-8701-S, TRIM: 197-653, PAINT: 253-2047. I believe the "2047" refers to the green located as the main body colour being OLINDA GREEN but could not find a reference to the "253". The car is black over green and the black is fading and can see the same colour green under neath. Was this normal in the painting process to paint over the main colour with another. The plate also has what appears to be stamped 10P in the lower right hand corner? Any reference? I presume the FC225 is FC BODY SPECIAL SEDAN - 8701 is build number from factory in SYDNEY "S". If this is incorrect also please advise. It was last registered expiring in May 1980 so rough from lying around but a good solid body and appears to be a dry chassis.  Thanks in advance Jase |

Jase, the car is originally a one colour Olinda Green car - the black was added later to liven it up a bit, the fact the the black is now wearing through shows that it was just a flash over, maybe by a car yard to make a sale.
The 253 refers to the type of paint - nitrocellulose lacquer.
I believe you will find that the word in the bottom right corner is "TOP" - this is where the second colour is stamped if it had one from the factory.
You are correct with your body number interpretation.
If you go back to look, can you find the chassis number as well please
Regards Ken

Thanks Ken. Were there many Specials that were the one colour. I thought it was only (Business) standard sedan that were the one colour. Am I correct that the 225 refers to a special or has it had badges and strips put on it to dress it up?Also how can i tell the year of the vehicle. Is it simply by the build number and if so what were the changeover points. Cheers All

Pull together all the details of your car and punch them into the ID plate decoder. It will tell you everything you're asking. But yes, 225 is a Special Sedan. The chassis number or the original engine number can be used to date the car with reasonable accuracy. cheer RET |

Hi,
Do you have a number for them as yellow pages doesnt seem to have them listed.
Went to the local paint shop and they said if i had a bolt with some paint on it they could match it. unfortunately i have none and if i did find one 50 years of aging probably wouldnt be a good comparison.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but was hopeing it could be helpful.
I am looking to paint my car Barbados Green 15827/1C011 (1974), I have spoken to PPG and they are not able to find this colour at all. Does anyone know what the International standard code is or should PPG really be able to find this easily?
Thanks
