Paint Code - Lotus Cars

Postby surfboardfiller » Fri 10.10.2008, 22:41

I thought I'd post the paint codes, I can't find the Paint codes on the current Lotus Web site. But here is what I downloaded from the old one.

My BRG is actually 'New Racing Green' so the name might not be what it seems.

that looks more a generic Lotus color palate than Elan specific colours -- the Elan Service manual has the DuPont and ICI color codes in it

The link to the Lotus paint codes on the Wiki has gone tits up as well. :cry: There's quite a lot on Mike Causer's site (bottom of Wiki).

This list of Elan paint codes still works OK. It's from Page 2 of section BH in the Lotus Service Notes, as per Doug's reply. (Beware the columns of the table at the bottom is out of alignment, so read it carefully.

I don't really see your point Doug, I thought the thread title "Paint Code - Lotus Cars" was a pretty good clue as to the content of the thread.

I posted this up to be helpful to people who want their car resprayed. The Service Manual is not much help to people who want an alternative Lotus colour to the M100.
