blue stripe 0 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) That certainly was a lot of typing. I have a Mk1 which, unfortunately has no chassis plate - therefore not able to identify the colour from the coding you provided. Does anyone have a colour chart for the Mk1 Cortina so I can determine the colour? Edited September 1, 2014 by blue stripe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingsley 0 Posted December 8, 2014 If anyone is looking for paint codes for a Australian or New Zealand-built Cortina, they could try these lists: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_codes_ford_motor_company_A-L.htm http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_codes_ford_motor_company_M-Z.htm I was told colloquially my colour was "Sweet Cream" and was able to cross-check the name on this list and find my matching paint colour code.

GhiaMk4/5 207 Posted March 14, 2015 What is the best colour to paint mk5 Ghia alloys, I think Colin Ginn did mention somewhere on here that a Mercedes colour is the nearest, but I thought that was for Lotus rims, thanks in advance for any info and if possible an actual paint code, :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
