cg-antrim Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Someone recently told me that there was a good car paint spray equivalent for CIE orange - does anyone know what it is? I have a feeling it was either Vauxhall or Volkswagen. Thanks! Quote
0 108 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The modern lighter orange matches RAL 2011. This is available from any good paint mixer. Quote
0 flange lubricator Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 RAL2011 is more Modern IE orange, the older CIE orange would be RAL2010 Signal orange, Holts car paint HOR03 is very close to it and should be off the shelf in most good motor factors . Quote
0 Blaine Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 RAL2011 aka Volkswagen Brilliant Orange - if its an old guy behind the counter just say Beetle Orange and he will know what your after Quote
0 heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 if you cant get in the local motor factor, vinny byrne does an order on line service...... http://www.vinnybyrne.com/aerosols-on-line-14-c.asp Quote
0 heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks, everyone! thanks is no good....ITS GUINNESS WE WANT!!! Quote
0 cg-antrim Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry - you missed your chance - we moved from Portarlington to co Antrim at Christmas! I see there are quite a few Laois people on this forum though. Quote
0 heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry - you missed your chance - we moved from Portarlington to co Antrim at Christmas! I see there are quite a few Laois people on this forum though. were taking over! good luck with the move:tumbsup: Quote
0 cg-antrim Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 The move is going great, thanks: unused skirting board is exactly the right height for OO gauge platforms, the huge amounts of polystyrene that come with new kitchen appliances is great for lightweight landscaping, and for the first time I have a floored attic and thanks to this forum the ideas to do something useful with it. I'm actually beginning a layout called "Ballyfin" with (I hope) some Laois features and a 1940s/1950s vibe. Somehow I will justify running NCC and other northern stuff, including a Lima 201 207 which I bought on a whim and can't think what to do with ... Quote
0 heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 ....... Lima 201 207 which I bought on a whim and can't think what to do with ... with all the spare timber - why not make a display case and have it complete with track and scenery? Quote
0 heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Perhaps we need a Laois sub-section..? theres a thought thats going to fester!!! Quote
