Colour change

Post by paulsx »

Hi all I am about to start the body renovation on my 1983 excel narrow body and I am thinking of changing from the original black as I am not that keen on it.

I want to stay with a Lotus colour but going for either a yellow or burnt orange.

Does anyone know the paint codes for either or have any pics?

Yellow looks awesome on a narrow body, especially if paired weith anthracite bumpers/sills.

When you say burnt orange do you mean Copper? Like the Bond car? I have only seen one Excel painted like that, there are pictures on this site somewhere. Its very smart.
