NIR Paint Colours

[NIRCLASS80]

Could anyone help me with NIR Colour codes or paint matches for the Enterprise stock used in the Early 1990's. Blue / Fawn with the black/white /yellow stripe?

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

Try Phoenix Paint for the NIR Intercity blue.

I wouldn't have the paint numbers as such, NIRCLASS80, but I'm wondering which livery you would be thinking in terms of with "fawn".... They had an inter-city blue and grey (with yellow, black & white lines) and a "suburban" red and cream.....

 

When new, the "Castle" class had maroon (as oppose to red) and cream, with a dull orange line.

I believe this is the one JHB.

Thats it, or here it is in all its glory behind 113.

FWIW, my original 1992 blue & grey 80 Class (in the middle below) used Ford Polar Grey as a base colour, which was a little dark; whereas my recent one used Ford Dove Grey (which to my eye is a ringer for the base colour used with maroon on the 450 Class, but maybe a bit 'warm' for the 80 Class, tho I think better than the Polar Grey). The blue on the recent model as Humbrol 14 Gloss French Blue which is what I remembered using for the 1992 model, tho it looks different, maybe it was Humbrol 25 Matt Blue, varnished, on the 1992 model.
