Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 8, 2020 Member Share Posted January 8, 2020 I hadn't heard of it and can't find a reference in the archives.Suggestion that the Caterham press car is a Lamborghini colour, in which case it might be here.Recent discussion of oranges, with hints on matching in my postscript.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 https://www.lambocars.com/pnt/lamborghini_paint_codes.html beware it looks like it's a 3 coat system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_420R Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks - so looks like we're saying it is same spec as the Lambo paint - "LAMBOR-0117 - PPG code : 0117" ?Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtrMint Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Oakmere has a car in stock that colour, I'm sure they know the code and would be willing to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If you would look at any car paint manufacture the the Lamborghini code 0117 should give you Arancio Argos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_420R Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Thanks - yes have gone with 0117 seems right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WB7 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 My car is also Arancio Argos.Because i plan to put a 620 nose on it, i also needed the paint code.But be careful... there are 2 specs out there. The ones that are painted by TSK have a different brand and code than the ones that are painted by CC now. Give Tony from TSK a call, he found out that my car was painted by CC.CC uses "Spies Hecker" paint, and the code for Arancio Argos is "CAT 402 SH". Hope that helps.regards,Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_420R Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks for the tip Wim. I can't find a code like this on the Chipex site so for now I've gone with the Lambo colour 0117 and will see how close it is. I am only doing a couple of really small touch ups so hopefully it will be close enough.Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WB7 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi Richard,Be carefull... Tony from TSK told me that the 2 paint codes will look different! Although they are both called "Arancio Argos", they can not be combined. Therefor he looked up if my chassis nr was painted by TSK or by Caterham, and so he found out what paint code i would need.FYI, Tony told me that there might be a chance that he would also switch to this Caterham paint brand at some time...Good luck with the rework.Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It doesn't matter what the paint supplier is the colour must be the same, however for this colour there is a B variant this means there is a bluer version of the std colour. edit to say it's a 2C but you need a red primer if you use Sikkens paint.
