1600 hf colours

[chugga boom]

trying to decide on a colour for my hf,  its origionally rosso york which i'm not the worlds greatest fan of, dont want to do it rosso corsa as most 1600 fulvia's are this colour even though i personally think they look fantastic in that colour, so what else is standard on these cars? just to help i've ruled out  so far
rosso corsa
rosso york
white
silver
logshomps bronze

Was it Blu Lancia...code 1332 by Lechler?

Done mine in Ford Venetian red, as I am not a purist, and you can get the paint anywhere

Link to Geoffs site with lots of likely and correct Lancia colours James

Frank i have no idea what the colour was, Roger if i was going red then i would do the same as its far easier to match however i've dismissed red alltogether, looks fantastic and imo is probably the best colour for a hf but you know me, i want to be different

Not normally my favourite colour for a car, and I know you've discounted it but Fulvia's definitely look best in White. I had a beauty, wish I hadn't sold it!

Agreed, all the colours i've dismissed look good on fulvia's however i'm trying to do it something a little different, one of my favourite s3 colours is portifino blue however this was nota 1600 option (to my knowlage) i was just curious if anyone had a colour chart/brochure for the 1.6's as i only have for the 1.3

If your not worried about original colour have a look at Doncaster Grey of my 2c Berlina, dark but not a blue and it's a very nice colour, although I don't think it was used on Coupe.

Why stick to one colour ?

Go nautical and have the left side red and the right green
Go safari - black and white stripes
Go Dudsey - spots
Recreate the Fulvia model - gold and black with painted on snow and spare tyre and ski sticks on the roof ......

Fulvia colour chart attached, also my car just painted in Lancia Blue, modern water based/lacquer paint, delivered home on Friday.

How about Nero??

if you're a metaller, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden fame had a black Fanalone.

Hello
Can someone answer a question that has long puzzled me. I bought my 1972 Fulvia Coupe via Italy. The paintwork looked largely original but had a laquer coat. Looking at Neil's chart,does it say that Lancia Bleu is available with a laquer coat at an additional cost .If this is the case, then that is the colour my car was painted.I always thought that Lancia Bleu was a solid colour.
I had the car repainted here in France about 3 years ago and found that Dupont Baltic/Twighlight Blue was an exact match. The sprayer wanted to use solvent based paint but I could not find anyone here to supply it, only water based. I was able to source the solvent based paint together with the laquer, hardener etc. in the UK, at approx. 40% less than French prices. Only wish I had bought all the consumables in the UK as well.

Tim

Yeah, even household paints are marked up horrifically in France..

Do you have contact details for the paint you sourced?

Many thanks Jonathan, that I think is the orange that Barry Waterhouse's Fanalone was painted and we are tempted to return it to. Any idea of the paint code and who can supply it?
