Paint codes for Caterham colours
Discussion
Can I start by saying that the guys at Caterham couldn't be less help if they tried. They would prove more helpful if I was re-spec'ing my kitchen....
I need to know the RAL/ISO colour code for 'caterham yellow'. This name isn't an official colour name and isn't recognised in the paint industry. Caterham will not give me details of the suppliers of either their paint finishers, or the guys who lay up the body panels (and hence would be able to provide the gel coat colour reference).
Can anyone help?
Do Caterham parts department just sell parts off the shelf for people to bolt on to their cars, or have they got any technical knowledge?

Other than blatchat is there any real benefit in joining the L7 club? I won't really be driving the car on the road, it's going to be almost exclusively a 'Ring toy.... 
Blatchat is open to all to read (and search), but you need to be a member to post.
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. I realise I can read and search, but not post, but IMHO car clubs are not always populated by people who have any a)technical knowldege b)driving skill but moreover are just 'enthusiasts' who enjoy talking about the specs of their cars, or arguing over upgrades.

OK. Thanks for the reply. My comments were based upon experience of things like Scoobynet and the like, of which I have a fairly low opinion!
regards.
PS 'stationary engine enthusiasts'! classic!
PPS apologies to any blatchat regulars!

Hi mate.
checks no one is listening mode on - so do I, I've just bought Karl Ludvigson's book on the evolution of the V12!
Phil at Caged is building a custom cage for me. He'll then paint and fit it all in one foul swoop!
Needed to hire a trailer from up north to minimise the logistical frigging about. thks for the offer though. May pop in to have a chat next weds pm if you're around? I'll give you a bell on weds to check times, etc.
