Finally started the Nobel restoration, paint question

[rettus72]

Hello everyone, I’ve finally started the restoration and was wondering if anyone has any information on the paint code. I originally thought it was green but after I removed the tail light assembly I noticed the paint is a shade of blue. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, joel

Hi Joel  dont know if the were all this colour but here is a friends one and if this was the colour scheme you had in mind i am sure i could find out what was used .

Thank you the fast reply, any help would be great. I will have to do 1 solid color.

Hi Joel  i have spoken to my friend amd he has confirmed what i thought.  The factory nobels were all done in the 2 tone colour scheme in the photo although some owners obviously changed them which i assume is what happened to the car you have. He is happy to look up the paint codes if this is the route you are going or if you are changing from original . Really like to see more photos of your project cheers Gary

Thank you Gary, and yes the color code would be great. I don’t know if mine was ever 2 tone as it is a truck version.

The back half is steel, the front portion is aluminum. Still with a wood floor throughout.

The standard saloon bodied Nobels were all 2 tone peacock blue and cream but all the pickup/ Vicky/sporty's I have ever seen have been one solid colour blue.

Hi Rettus!

Let me bump this thread a bit because I am very curious to see how your car has turned up. I love the color choice and would really like to see the whole thing painted. That must have been a lot of meticulous work but I bet it was worth it!

Any updates about this project? I think we are all curious how is it going and have you already finished at least putting this new coat of paint! I have to say that this color makes this car look even more cute! I miss these kind of microcars
