Hi everyone.
Im trying to make a series of original campys with Arrivas to my cat. I bought series of wheels from ebay and found out they were nice but somewhat pitted and worn looking. Soda blasting and sanding etc and result was quite nice. Had to use some filler for hole like pittnings.
I was searching for the right colours for campys and found the dizler code but wasn't able to locate the color here in Finland. Propably the difference of the charts and makers. I just painted the wheels with color 293 396 Rover Argent silver.
Maybe you could be a judge how the color looks!? For powder coating propably Eastwoods silver is good.
I havent seen any original campys alive here so my idea was based only on pictures. Paint was made with much less lacquer so the result was more grayish than silver. I intend to make this series only for show use.
Originals were propably powder coated to my knoledge but that was out of the question because I had to use a bit filler for the pittings.

Next thing is to try to bend hard rubber arrivas on these. Big Grin

Your paint match is great! Original magnesium Campi's were undercoated with olive-green zinc chromate protective coating, so depending on the number and thickness of top coats used, this undercoat may shade the top color a little. No one will notice if it's a little off, as the exact shade will fade over time as aluminum-based paints are 'reactive paints'- to just about everything.
Thank you Boss. Yes there is base color of olive and we took that out from the fronts but left it alone in other areas. The basecolor was very very rigid.
Boss, you might know as well how was the coloring of the brackets and clutch cylinder...damper, ac brackets.
I would guess they would be black but Im not sure as I found traces of ford blue in every bracket. I think it did not differ from basic Mustang boss engine department coloring??
Cheers. Peter
