Focus ST Orange Colour Code/Exact Name

Postby joycey2006 on Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:27 am

Does anyone know the EXACT name of the bright orange they used on the Focus STs and what its colour code was ?

Speaking to a long lost friend earlier about some spraying and repair work to tidy my 2.0 Si up, and he said he would respray the whole car for 450.00, including welding in new rear arches and full sills :o

Want to have it done the ST orange colour though i can't find the damn colour code.

Thanks

Oh yeah, and try photoshopping your car first. Not sure it'd work on all.

LOL! awesome photoshop James :lol:

I think the Focus orange will become the next Imperial Blue, in that everyone suddenly does it lol. Heard a few people say they're doing it but who will be the first to actually have it done and have bragging rights eh? :wink: (this is assuming there isn't already an orange mk3 about)

The next Imperial blue? The moment the Focus ST came out, all modified Fords were being sprayed ST Orange! :lol: Much like white wheels, black wheels, anthracite wheels, diamond cut RS 7s, soft RS 7s, Escort 15s, Mondy 16s, Mondeo estate spoilers, noisy rev limiters, launch control, morrettes with the centres removed....man we're all boring! :lol:

I think it will look better in the flesh.

I started a thread recently about this also, probably where you got that pic of the one in silverstone's scrutineering garage from. However i'm more swayed towards a non metalic orange though. It won't be happening whilst i'm still stuck on this bloody island in the middle east but once i'm back next year i'll be having it done as soon as i can.

Good good! Thankfully, FITP is a day and one month after MiniBen (TM) will be born, so you'll be just fine! Give him his first taste of the UK show season :D
