how can i tell if the pump is still spi unit or changed to g40?   also any1 have any ideas of what the paint code is my spray shop seems to be having a problem finding it as the sticker is no longer in the boot!!

[Alex]

If you look at the part number, SPI ones have a B (if I remember) on the end. G40 ones have no suffix.

[86C]

If you look at the part number, SPI ones have a B (if I remember) on the end. G40 ones have no suffix.

Correct!


The paint colour is Indian red pearl(not Indiana red). Can't for the life of me remember what the code is, and I painted the bumpers too
Will try and have a look on the Standox mixing scales tomorrow if I get the chance.

[86C]

Yep, checked today, and it's LC3T, Indianrot pearlcolour.

[Dan]

Didn't know Indian Red had pearl in it ! It does look good when polished up on a late summer night though.

[86C]

Indeed it does. It also has what we call in the trade "poor covering power" 

[Dan]

Is that how the base coat looks as you apply it ? Something that you need a couple of coats or a ground coat for ?

[86C]

If I remember when I painted the bumpers(that was 12 years ago now!) I sprayed on some Rover Nightfire red first that I had left over from another job before the Indian red was sprayed on. It's such a pissy transparent colour that groundcoats help no end

[Dan]

Yeah, that Rover Nightfire red is very similar.
