Question about paint colour.

[reidalpine]

My ref.book says colour is given (on inner-wing) as:

3 digits, 1 letter,followed by number representing suppliers reference...

3 digits meaning colour-code
1 letter C=cellulose / S=synthetic
followed by number repr.suppliers reference as follows;
1=Renault
2=Nitrolac
3=Valentine
4=Ripolin
5=Duco
6=Villemer
7=Dupont de Nemours
8=Sodee
9=Astral
10=I.c.i
11=Sikkens
12=Rinshed Mason

-Followed by 1 letter giving Where car was built as:
F= Flins
C=Creil
NO letter=Billancourt

SO-Who can give me the details re.where he was born and what colour and type of paint he is?

On Roffens inner-wing it says:
170 B -That's IT!

If he wasn't so pale Beige he would no doubt blush!ops:

-R.

I've not seen all that detail in the inner wings. 170 would be beige (don't know what the B stands for).

Maybe some of the other information might be in the oval plate markings rather than the inner wing stencil.

Hi Malcolm! Ovalplate only states:
2106
41 100
369862

-and I already Know he is French(100):roll:

Anyone got a pair of complete rear-frames for F4 laying around with no rust on them?? M-R-P doesn't seem to
respond At all!! -I can't see France has been closed due to lack of interrest so it might be only this firm that's affeceted.

Project-Trailer now stopped in wait for response..........

Anyone know if 'Bil' the wreckyard in France is still in business? Can't seem to get in touch with them anymore.

Funny detail-'Bil' in Norwegian means Automobile or Voiture Strange place to have a Norwegian wrecker in France-Then again maybe not! -R.

On Roffens inner-wing it says:
170 B -That's IT!

Hi
In this number the "1" is the primary color that it can be compared ( 1 for white, 4 for blue, 7 for red) and the "70" is the grade. The letter B is the type of paint.
170 the color Beige:

Excuse me if I don't speak correctly, I'm french and I didn't write in english since .... er... I don't remember

 

[reidalpine]

Bonsoir RodolpheR. Merci beaucoup for clearing this up..
I wondered if the B could simply be;Alternative B, as I have found there are 2 shades of this paintcolour.....
-No need to apologize! I'm Norwegain and there are those who
simply don't understand me here at home in Norway -especially those in a hurry up a long hill behind Roffen....
-What is your location in France? If you tell me you will become a needle on my map too. c",) -R.

 

[RodolpheR]

You have "opaque" paint, bright paint, it precise by the letter (not sure)
I'm from Froideconche

 

[reidalpine]

Ok-so now Both Roffen and I are Bright-how Very fitting!
-will pin down Froideconche,Please tell me you have a RED Quatrelle as I have too many pins with red heads on them.... -R.
