Carlton Paint Colour

[BobbyD]

Hello all, just about to start on the full refurb of my 75 Carlton Corsa - Poly Aqua Green. Has anyone else resprayed a Corsa in this colour? Trying to find a match for the original colour for a respray. Thanks.

Have a look at various cars on eBay/Autotrader and find a march. Take the reg no. and phone the main agent for that make. Ask the parts department what the colour code is. Then you can get a rattle can mixed. Normally takes one and a half 400 ml cans to do a frame. Will need priming first and clear lacquer afterwards.

Not march - match

Thanks for the info. Saw a suggestion that Ford Squeeze Green was a close match so will check that out.
