Yellow color for my bus

Postby voodoo51 » Wed Jan 04, 2017 10:08 pm

Hello!
I want to repaint my 1977 mk1 Transit. It will be yellow color.
Could you help me with factory color codes of mk1?

Thank you.

I don't know whether RAL colors stupid or not. But I am sure that my shop doesn't know 1970's Transit colors. And I need more information about yellow mk1 colors (not only the names).
Thank you.

Ral is just a collection of colours init
There are others like bs colours
And then others the colours that ford use :P
Go to your paint shop they will have about 20million squillion different yellows or mix one to match your skidders init boss

I just want to find more information about mk1 yellow colors. I don't know how do they look like. I don't have any sample.

Thank you. Signal yellow looks good! That was one of the colors for Transit mk1?

Don't know if signal yellow was a mk1 transit colour, I lifted the link from another site but it was a mk1/2 escort colour so would ford use it on the transit, you know cost saving and whatnot, one colour fits all.

I did find a colour list on google images for the mk1 transit that was linked to this forum but it was all in German, I'll jump on the craptop later and add the link. N
