Paint code for 2010 quadchip 160 blue?

[Gerbutt]

Hiya,

 

Does anyone know the paint code for a blue 160? I phoned the maker and they said ral 5017, but it’s nothing like it!

It depends on what blue it is. GreenMech is able to paint in any RAL colour. Did you give them your serial number?

 

Where did you get the paint from?

[Gerbutt]

Yeah I rang greenMech with the serial number and they gave me the paint code. It’s the same blue machine as the others but the paint code doesn’t match?

I get the paint made up by a local auto paint mixing firm. I went back in today to say it doesn’t match and he made a drop more up to check but it’s still a totally different blue.

Is that an ex Acorn machine ?

I’m not sure, I’ll ask tomorrow.
When I’ve googled the 160 I have seen other blue ones and when I rang up greenMech they said the colour was blue for the serial number?!

I haven't been involved up until now but I'll happily have a look at the master records if you let me know the aerial number.

If you'd rather call me then it's: 01789400044 and the option for 'service'.

Ok I've just checked this and it was originally painted in RAL 5017 so I can only assume the new paint doesn't match due to the fact that the original paint has faded ?
