Ferrari paint colors

Post by jsa330 »

Does anyone know of an online source where I can see early Ferrari colors matched to their Factory names & numbers? I have Keith Bluemel's "Original Ferrari V12" that has the colors listed but nothing to match them to.

The PPG ColorLibrary at (440) 572-2800 may be able to fax PPG Ferrari color codes and corresponding Ferrari names to you, from your period of interest. Then you can use those codes to have various colors of your choice sprayed out from a small quantity of lacquer. That's how I chose "tourbillon" blue for my car.

After a talk with the bodyshop I'm giong to have to get over the idea of weaseling a new "Rosso Rubino" paint job with insurance $$ and some extra cash. 15 grand minus the insurance money for the complete down to bare metal and back job. The owner pretty well
gave me Mr. Sheehan's story, in excruciating line by line detail. So, I'll spend $1,000 on top of the ins.$$ to get some annoyance bits fixed and continue to have a very nice driver. When the going price for a top end 4HL 330 gets to $125K then I'll spend another $35K on my car, and that probably won't be in my life expectancy range.
