I have not seen any specific Mangusta paint codes.

black
white (Paris show car)
red
yellow
orange
silver grey metallic
tan metallic
blue metallic
green metallic

Every Mangusta I have seen over the years that I know to be original has been one of the above colors. However, since the Mangustas were built on the same assembly line as the Maserati Ghiblis I'm sure you could get one one in whatever color Ghia was shooting the Maseratis with.


As far as any reference could prove the paint used would be Glidden Salchi. Here is a pic of the color wheel used by Iso at the time ( remember that the Mangusta's design was first offered to Mr. Rivolta)
