ArtistsRifles Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Did a quick search but couldn;t find any matches so here goes: Any one happen to know the paint code/colour for the blue used on the RR B series engines, the B81 in particular?? And even better - can anyone recommend a supplier of said paint???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to any firm that mixes auto paint and ask for it in synthetic, Corrofast is a good one, it is like the old coach paint. Usually about £10 a litre mixed for you.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Cheers John - as/when/if she comes home then there are some chips etc. on the visible engine surfaces that are going to need refinishing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Not a problem mate, you should see the state of some of the engines i've seen. Namely the one we took out of the Saladin. Previous owner had just blown silver paint over everything so had a wonderful mixture of both silver and blue. Worse yet he did exactly the same thing to the interior and had'nt bothered to clean anything off. Paint on grease and sand tends to spread itself to ones skin very very easily :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
