Came across this site the other day, maybe of some help if your looking for a 126 colour code. by the way the colour code sticker on the bis is located on the top left hand side on the reverse side of the bonnet.

Hello Pete126. I am looking for touch up paint for my cream 126 Bis which has the colour code 205. According to your chart is ivory meteor. I went to Halfords who can do touch up paints but according to them one of the ingredients (paint 003) that make up the 205 is no longer made due to its lead content. Is there another paint specialist that can still do 205?
-
Hi
I get mine from a local paint shop in Nuneaton, Also had my car resprayed in 205 so it is readily availiable!
I would say that this is a tipical responce from halfrauds! :D
-
As ciaoflyer, If you go to an independent car paint supplier he should be able to match the paint, I'm lucky we have a guy who has been in business for over 30 years who mixes the standard colours the then spends time tinting the paint, so it matches exactly what's on the car after it has had years of weathering on the car.
-
Thanks for the link. I'll be doing a respray and found out that the colour 331 is called Salvia Green. So it's more of a mint green than olive green as i had always thought. :)
-
Thats a handy link, where do you guys get your cellulose paint from these days? or do you use 2pak?

Ebay, where you can buy everything!!

500ml of any colour mix

2pak gives a better finish and more durable with less maintenance, you don't have to polish it every two weeks like cellulose ;)

2pak and cellulose paints?

2pak and cellulose paints?
2 pack= paint with a chemical hardener
cellulouse= drys by solvent evaperation only
2 pack is the way to go but needs proper ventilation and air fed equipment to spray
celly can be used more safely in a diy enviroment but needs far more preperation and after care to acheive and keep the same results...(co it oxidises over time requiring repoling and cutting back)
(hence why i am now repainting my car in 2 pack...)
-
2pak gives a better finish youre right, i love that nice shinny wet look!
i thought they were doing away with cellulose i.e. banning it / phasing it out.
im planning to get a compressor so whenthe paint goes flat will respray
Where 500s and 126s orginally factory sprayed in cellulose??
regards
Chris

I have got a small compressor sitting up in my shed. I did a job for a guy last year & as he was short of cash he gave me the compressor instead, £30 if anyone is interested [-/
-
What exactly does it mean small compressor r-uncle??? I might take it.
-
Trouble with 2 pak is one needs a special mark with an air supply is what I have been told as it is toxic :(
-
Hi Jan , I will see if I can get a picture & more details [-/
-
Been out in the cold & got a picture but forgot to write down details but I remember it had 1.5hp on it. [-/
-
that compressor might not be anygood for spraying, looks little too small and would lose pressure quick .
anyhow , i have used 2 pak paint before and my neighbours does on daily basis .
its very toxic indeed, if it gets on your skin can soak in and kill you .. no joke ..
celli . is safe but doesnt give as good finish, thats why old skoolers like the neighbour uses 2 pak .. he not dead yet, but he wears all safety gear .. like i said gets on your skin and into your blood and your a gonna
we painted my fiat 500 with 2 pac :) .. a few years back, dresed up like ghostbusters , i even brought a old sas gasnask to keep me safe as they had a charcoal filter in ...

The guy I got the compressor from had used it to respray his Porsche 911 and a VW Bay Camper Van so I reckon it might handle a 126 [-/
-
thats cool , i didnt know and wasnt sure .. but glad it can be used, hope you sell it , its cheap enough ..
-
you did a good job on welding and respraying that 500, remember the pics you took, have you sold that car?
yes 1.5bhp should do the job for respraying, 126cab aka David from Rotherham used to use one like the Monza electric 1.5hp compressors, he used to get a superb finish on all the cars he resprayed using cellulose paint.

hi chris , sadly i sold the car a number of years ago, still miss all my 500's that have been and gone, still got my fiat 126 picky and other 126 bis now , so .. still happy ..
i cant take credit for welding either, my mate who is a welder (although he welds up zimmer frames and metal comode chairs all day at his work on a jig .. did the welding )
hes a good lad .. he is going to look at latest bis as needs some welding which is good, mechanics is upto me ..
hey remember that compressor be good for waxoiling :)
