July 2, 2007 - The official color codes!
The shop that did those beautiful Martini restorations (Makela Tuning) answered my email about paint codes. I'm blown away - I think they actually contacted their paint shop to get the codes on my behalf and that's why it took so long. It's great information.
Here you have the color codes, as I have got those from Carrozziere
Nitro Taurus (Official Italian Martini paintshop)
VERNICE SIKKENS / MAX MAYER # TIPO # TINTE COLORI
ROSSO OPEL 512
BLU INNOCENTI 5208
CELESTE FORD 537
LOGHI LAGANA' ADESIVI CHIVASSO (TO) #
(CHIEDERE ARKENTIS)
CARROZZIERE NITRO TAURUS
I have also used:
RED: Lamborghini 231240 (arancio diablo)
LIGHT BLUE: Mercedes DB5508 (cyan blau)
DARK BLUE: Volkswagen VAG.LA5B (marine blau)
I've managed to track down the PPG code for the Lamborghini red/orange and the VW color was used in the US on the Golf in the late 80's. The cyan is proving elusive though, both the Mercedes hue and the Innocenti. Are there any paint shop magicians who can help out with the Opel red or the cyan? Heck, can anyone translate some of those lines in all caps. My Italian is a little rusty.
The cyan I found in the MS Rod and Custom colors can be used, but since I'm so close I'd love to use the "real" colors straight from the legit Martini paint shop.
I'm blown away by the helpfulness of MAT.
