241 - Colorado Yellow

[Volder]

Hi!

My 1969 is up for a new spray, and I am considering returning to the original colour; 241, Colorado Yellow.

Does any one have a pictures of a Fiat in that colour?

Google only brings me pictures of model cars and they seem almost green!! Not a colour for me...

Thanks

I've seen that color and think it looks nice. You might get a can a of touch-up paint from these guys (TCPGlobal: http://www.tcpglobal.com) and paint it on a card and see what you think.

Here's the color palette from 1969:

I concur. A color change is much too important to be decided by an old paint chart. Colorado Yellow is very similar to what the British call Primrose. It has a definite greenish cast to it. I'm not judging it good or bad, but you should see a square foot of it in the sunshine before painting it (or any other color) on your car.

Fiat Spiders are still reasonably-priced vintage cars, and their value is not usually dependent on everything being concours. Now is your chance to make your car reflect your personal preferences. I personally would stay away from contemporary metallics and pearls on a vintage car, but the choice is yours alone.

I diluted Fiat Yellow 223 with white incrementally until I got what I wanted. If you'd like a pale yellow Spider, I'd be happy to send you the color formulation.

Looks great! Mine is a very old repaint of the original color, but that greenish tint that shows up every once in awhile makes me want to puke. There will be a color change in the future. Like yours very much!

Looks incredible and certainly the color fits the car

I've seen Bernies' car many times. Pictures don't show how great the car is.

Mine definitely has that hint of green under certain light:

After seeing this car in person I have to say pictures do not do this color justice. its a great color for a Spider.
