Paint Chip...odd request

[Piperdave]

Hi, i know this is a very odd request, but does anyone have either the paint code for Carlton "Lagoon Blue", or a paint chip, for colour matching purposes?

Cheers,

Dave

Raleigh / Carlton touch up bottles had the order code RMM116 CF xx (xx is the colour code) but for the life of me I don't remember one for lagoon blue.....

What's the bike? Corsa / Professional....

actually its a ten, but I don't like the colour of tens, so a slight rebrand as a mock corsa strada.....

I think you might have to ask a Carlton owner to get the nearest match from a standard colour or ask help from a finisher like Argos or Bob Jackson...

The Lagoon Blue of the Carlton-Weinmann team along with the white and chrome looked very nice in the flesh

Blue is a funny colour.........

The Bianchi blue simply looks terrible IMHO and I had my Falcon San-Remo finished in Pink rather than blue from the factory. The Viking Blue that Keith Lambert rode wasn't much better, The frames were made by Woodrup and I thought they would have known better LOL

A blue Carlton 10 - thats different!

Personally Id prefer the flamboyant copper.

I "touched up" a Corsa Strada earlier this year. Was a pain trying to get the colour right.
I used my usual paint resource, Halfords! Used aerosol cans, sprayed and mixed in the lids.
Although a mixture of Ford Olympic, Riviera, Nordic an Rover Henley blue, and unfortuanatley I still couldn't get the colour 100% correct.

Looked good with imichrome stickers and white tape.
