would need your appreciated opinion regarding the colour of the accessories in my 7-1958 cab.
in the dark of the past they did revise the body paint including seat frames etc. in identic colour. nos colour had been alabaster for the body and supposedly l471 stone beige for the acessories but they chose a lighter hue for the repaint.
while i will stay with the body colour i was searching for the nos colour of the seat frames, column tube, steering while and e-break lever, and made some disturbing discoveries. when i sanded back the surfaces i found different colours on them.
seat frames and wheel were coated in a grey shade much resembling what is considered l471 stone beige in its darker shade
on steering column,indicator housing and e-brake handle i've revealed a different colour being a rather apricot beige
it's similar to another hue of l471 listed with glasurit as l471 light stone beige
i confered to ral colour chart and found it pretty similar to the ivory hues on it.
as there's no inferior layer underneath i must assume that it's either the original paint,or some po has removed all coating to bare metal before respraying. What do you think about?
for the seats and steering wheel I'm wondering if they were swapped into the past or different colours were applied on them and the rest of accessories.
generally i would be interested in knowing who ever stated that accessories in '58+'59 models were executed in l471 stone beige. i never saw any evidence for that.
who can help me out?
your conclusions? |
