Prisoner 7

[IamScotticus]

This info was previously provided by Mr. Phipps:

Cterham green-1 litre

using Exalta Centeri (formerly DuPont) paints.

AM 32=277 gr

AM 43=399 gr

AM6=478 gr

AM1=488 gr

AK100=977 gr

 

Mr Phipps also mentioned Mercedes Sunburst Yellow 1685 is almost identical to Cat yellow and Ditzler #46446/GN29 is similar to Cat green

 

 

BTW guys, this is a lot of good info (mine as well) being lost under an irrelevant thread category and subject line.  Im always considering the next guy looking for the information.  We want Information.

I suggest an electric Carter pump

 

Didn't you prefer the Carter P90091?

Close enough for Jazz?

 

So you mean, Caterham Yellow, now also known as Firecracker Yellow?    

 

(Not Caterpillar Yellow...)

 

Do you think anyone would notice if one fender was factory Caterham Yellow gelcoat and the rest were painted Mercedes Sunburst Yellow 1685?

 

Is Mercedes Sunburst Yellow 1685 a current Mercedes color?

Yes, but there seem to be many good choices. See my March 16th post here for details on the applications:

No practical experience.  Just repeating information.

You are correct.  Caterpillar uses a yellow.  Around here Cat is a common abbreviation for Caterham.  TONKA is a distinctive yellow also.

As for me, I will look for a hardware store rattle can paint.  I consider the skill set and paint availability to be able to do spot repairs, more reasonable than an exotic $$$ professional paint job.  

One gash and you're stuck with it.  Or not. It's up to you.

My signature line now states the reality of what a 7 really is.

It's very difficult to not damage it, so just accept now that repairs are in your future.

One of the Porsche guys says to use tractor paint from Fleet Farm for black.  Maybe you could use John Deere Yellow and John Deere Green.

 

It's amazing how I did NOT damage my yellow one while I had it.  Especially considering some of the stuff I have done to other cars.

 

Tonka?  As in the toys originally from Minnetonka Minnesota?

I expect that in my neck of the woods that a Mercedes color for cars that were sold here would be a lot-less exotic than a Caterham color to the average body shop.
