Thanks Steve. I'll move it to the body and paint section. It can be made a sticky there.
Terry...17th March...that is weird... ...could be the day it was mixed or approved...or some special date to the person who mixed it like a birthday, anniversary or marriage...anyones guess...

Great topic, during the late 60's GMH added racetracks to the list Calder Red, Sandown Fawn, Warwick Yellow, Monza Blue, Daytona Bronze, Lakeside Green, Sebring Orange and Indy Orange, there are a few more.
My favourite GMH colour names are all from the 70's Wisteria Hysteria, Lime A Bean, Dark Ox Blood and Y Y Yellow.

that's what the guy that built the DOG 308 ute used to call the colour of it i think it was cameo biege but as far as he was concerned it was dog dick pink, pretty close match toomatches wrote:one of my brother's mates had his hz ute painted in "dogs dick red". that was the actual colour name in the paint book. can't remember what car it was originally from.

You're onto something there for sure Andrew. I think Holden were exporting at the time to both India and Pakistan. I've never heards of Shalimar Gardens so googled it - looks like an amazing place. Another one for 'World places' category.

that would be the only paint made that would spray itself on ......
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Paint formula would probably have a peculiar smell and a distinct spray pattern......................Blacky wrote:FB MAD wrote:Hmmmm ............... wonder if there's a "Culcutta Curry" then??parisian62 wrote:You're onto something there for sure Andrew.
