Motorsport colour help

[northloop]

My car is not far from the spray shop now and I want to check I have the right colours.


The colour scheme will be like the old E30 race cars with the 3 motorsport colours going over the roof. Does anyone have the codes for these colours.


Cheers

I did look into this once and i dont think there was any proper codes just bmw colours i maybe rong tho.

The bmw colurs would be fine ....... I was given 3 numbers which I have given to the painter, just wanted to check they were correct.

[schuey]

what were the numbers? I will have a look in the morning on my colour formulation database.

Don't suppose they were something like zinnobar red interglos blue and laguna seca blue?

what were the numbers? I will have a look in the morning on my colour formulation database.

I knew someone was going to ask that Cant remember, although the painter has them, something like Blue 006 Blue 007 Red 00?

I was hoping someone would know the definative answer off the top of their heads.

found this info re colours

1>Pantone Process Blue;
This is a 100% Cyan with 9% Magenta and 6%black. It is not pure cyan, so it may look a little off in comparison to the bright colors/tones used today.

2> Pantone 268;
This is indeed a violet (purple family), and depending on lighting or poor reproduction it can be seen as a deep blue. But again, it is not a pure deep blue.

3>
Pantone Warm Red;
This color is the deepest orange/red you can find. It is not a apple red but closer to a deep Ferrari red. There is probably 15% more yellow in it than Magenta.



BMW factory codes:
#113 Red
#114 Lt. Blue
#115 Dk. Blue

Uni-Color/Glasurit paint codes:
353 Red
5002 Light Blue
4000 Violet
