Silver '77 Jota paint

[davidjota]

Time to do tidy up my tank and re-paint.  When it was last done (>10 years ago) the records show Grigio Nisida (apparently an Alfa Romeo colour) was used. Is that the best (?only) option and what is the correct number code as there seem to be at least 2 different codes?

Thanks
David

Gavin Spencer had mine done by his local painter - I keep meaning to ask him what colour or code the paint is - so give him a bell and I'm sure he'll answer the question 01981 570670

Let us know if you find out!

Mine has been done in some sort of Mercedes silver. I told the painter I didn't care what he used so long as it looked good......and it does.

David,

I had my 3C repainted in Jaguar rhodium silver. When I bought my silver Jota, the colour was almost identical. Allowing for the ageing of the Jota paint (30 odd years), I would say the rhodium silver is a perfect match.

Dunno where I remember this titbit from, but I believe a number of the Laverda colours lined up with items from the Ford paint catalogues of the day.  "Ford Silver Frost" springs to mind, but I can't be 100% sure.....
