Coachline

Any idea what the proper paint codes are for the correct colour coachlines? or failing that a supplier of the correct paint?

In my reference books, it's only listed as 'red' (for a Dove Grey car) but as we know there are dozens of red shades.

Any ideas?

Not the "correct" shade , but Red and blue "plastikote" enamel paints from Hellfrauds did a reasonable job on revitalising the bonnet badge. The bull is now red and the water blue.

With a steady hand or the Frost pinstriping tool, the red enamel would be close enough, I should imagine.

Thats what I'm going to do when I've run out of things to do on the Trav.

From what I've seen, it was whatever paint they had left over from something else :o
