Have signed up for Caterham Academy 2015 (i know long wait)

Anyway i will be using the car alot on the road too and wanted a nice colour stand out but look really nice too.

I would really like a Turquoise/Cyan type colour but cant find the right one on any car.

I like the new jag xkr french racing blue but its not quite bright/green enough

Here is a link to a scalextrics caterham model with the perfect colour. I know its a link to ebay but im not selling anything trust me.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scalextric-Caterham-R500...

How would i go about getting that colour on my new caterham, i need a code of some sort. Any suggestions or pics of colours on cars close to this one.

thanks

Not sure if this is the colour you're looking for, but if it is, knock yourself out!

Seeing as that Scalextric car has Suzuki on the side, will the blue not be that used on the Rizla Suzuki racing bikes?

go to B&Q

they say they can colour match anything

else a pro paint shop should be able to sort you out, I assume you are not using rattle cans on the paint job

that is pretty much bang on...how on earth would i go about getting the colour code for that and giving it to caterham for them to paint.

given that its probably a custom colour of their own

Go to a PPG dealer, they will be able to custom match virtually any colour you like. Check out their web site

Yeah some Suzuki Rizla blue emulsion will do the job.

That colour will look excellent on a Caterham.

White centred Revolution RFXs, chrome windsreen/lights and twin white stripes, with lashings of carbon everywhere.

Super.
