Anyone got access to paint code recipies?

[nutcase]

I'm trying to find the "recipie" for Saab paint code 185 - Golden Yellow so I can get some mixed up (it's too old for some places to still have the details ).

Lovely colour it is:

The poor thing needs a bit of welding, so I want to get some paint ready.

LOL

I already know the code - 185. But the couple of places I've tried didn't have the right info (it was only used for 1 year, can't think why ).

That pic does show it "lowered" - 25 year old springs. It has new ones on the rear now, and will have new ones on the front when I get around to it.

p.s. here's what a properly lowered one looks like:

Good lad!

Dude, whereabouts are you based? your in the South East, same as me aren't you?

Give this guy a ring - His name is Watmough - Phone Number: 01708 521963

Based in Rainham, he does any/all of my paintwork and it's always spot on. I'd be willing to bet that if you took it down there he would look at the code and from his eye mix you a batch and it'd be perfect.

Rainham is a bit of a pain to get to, but at least it's the same county

Can he do cellulose paints? A lot of places have run out of the ingredients now And can he put it in rattle cans?

As long as you find a person who knows what hes doing, all halfords out of town store can mix paint and put in cans if required.

Halfords was one of the places I tried - they only go back to about 1990.

Got some now Found a place that had the old charts
