[pennine]

Trying to buy cellulose paint but the factors do not recognise the code 72. Does anyone have a recent code for the paint ?

Thanks

A long shot

Buying Triumph white 19 factors couldnt find it. Then an old guy said to try under Rover, and there it was Rover Triumph 19.

You might just be lucky.

They have tried all the rover colours back to the 1950s no joy I'm afraid.

Ask your paint supplier for his colour swatches for ROVER and you should be able to locate the correct shade of red, pimento is a smooth finish unlike orange or lime [java] which tend to be a bit lumpy.[ that should get some of the forum going not had a paint discussion for a while] :P:X

Just googled Paint code for triumph pimento red and found a few sites which had manufacturers codes.

Only when applied with a broom instead of taking a mouthful of paint and spitting it at your car........

I did that too, problem is they don't recognise any of them :?72, 72CAB, 204.......

It's going to be a colour change from brown so it's not too critical about the shade, but I'd like it to be as close to original as I can. ( but not too orangey)

Just checked on line and 'paints4u' can have the paint delivered to your door in 24hrs using the code 72, it even came up as Pimento red.

Thanks Ian but I just bought some. It's not Pimento, but a nice colour nevertheless.

There is a paint shop in Bexleyheath that stocks pimento in either cans or aerosol. I warn you though, like my car, it is red, not orange!

Cant see whats wrong with brown quite honestly, its a period colour and not as common as orange. Ooops I mean red.
