correct color[HELP}
 

Hey i have a 72 T, The original color is yellow. The decals and any info on car is gone. How do i find out correct color ? What yellows were offered in 72? If anyone has a yellow car or has a book on colors for this car PLEASE contact me Thanks

The colour code is located on a small plate on the drivers door hinge post.

According to Peter Morgan 1972 yellows were: Signal Yellow 114 and Light Yellow 117

Thankyou My sticker on the door was removed Thanks again

It should be an aluminium plate about 2" square, riveted on.

Thats great thank you mark

I have a 73E, originally sold in Germany It is what I would call "fly yellow" . I took the code to the paint store years ago when I resprayed it. The color shocked me when it came out of the gun as it had much more chroma than the original color. (Presumably faded after 20 years) I seem to remember the paint store chart called it "something (which I translated as 'medium') geld".

Does anyone know what the actual term is?

I usually test it on a piece of scrap medal first. I want to thank all those who helped me out again I did find the tag and the code was right on it.
