paint code for chassis, iveco

[arther dailey]

Does anyone know the correct paint code for the red/brown chassis colour of iveco dailys circa 2006 , I did get a colour match made up from a paint firm who scanned a part, but truethfully it wasnt a good match at all. Any advice appreciated .thanks

It changes a lot.
Take the chassis details to them and they will be able to tell you the rall code.
It is a pain.

tried all that , just never got any where with it, was hoping some one on here was commercial/bodyshop might have a clue, thanks tho

I have never had any luck matching chassis paints and I don't think truck manufacturers particularly care about keeping tabs on exact Rals vs years. Ivecos seem to range between an almost pillarbox red to a brown.

Can you make any sense of these codes?

IC 105 apparently.

Does chassis colour really matter? Not being flippant.

I've often thought that the Iveco chassis colour is quite pleasant (perhaps I'm just weird) so will try and use that code to see what it comes up with. I did try a few years back just searching for Iveco chassis colour and got nowhere. I don't even own an Iveco but thought it would be good for some auxiliary components that I was making at the time. Ended up with a Nissan paint that I thought looked about right on the lid but turned out to be far too red. Some cruel hearted people infer that they were painted that colour as it doesn't show the rust much in the same way as the old Fiat agri tractors were painted brown.

@8ob, there seems to be a touch up pen that looks the right colour, and differant no.s on that so itsa lead, geuss its where I made the garden statues/pots etc for years just like the dark terracotta colour. ta

Make that 4 Arthur dad likes it as well as me, I did some work on father Iveco last year started off as a brake job and seamed to progress on and on I gave the chassis a bit of a paint up while I was around the area I got it matched by colourite paints still not a perfect match though might have some left in the tin. you want me to see what the code was on it tomorrow

IC 105 = 'CHASSISROT OPACO'
Or, Code 50002 (1982-1999) = CHASSIS-ROSSO TELAI IVECO
Or for cheap, you've got ebay speciale ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chassis-Paint-Satin-Iveco-Red-2-5-Ltr-/331786553050

And all to replicate a red oxide finish.

thankyou, if you look at the post above yours you will see its more like the old oxide red than the brighter red shown in your pic, geuss its got some brown in it but there again I have no idea on what colour mix actually makes specific colour. Yes its strange but after owning iveco dailys from the mk1 right through to mk4 (30 years) I got used to and like that colour, reason for using ivecos,two fold, they take the weight and unlike transits they dont get stolen ,I live on the edge of the new forest , transits go walkies within weeks .
thanks for the codes ,appreciated.Arther

 

[arther dailey]

at least with several others liking it I know I am after all not the only one , its just a really good colour for chassis etc ,with out being in your face.

you made a great job of that, nice to see backplates are done as well , ive had dailys since the mk1, brilliant tool ,just need as you are proper service . really nice to see quality work.cheers

 

[jordhandson]

that would be appreciated,ta

I searched every ware today for that paint pot myself or father must have had a tidy up and thrown it. All is not lost though, me being a happy snapper and taking pic of everything I had a pic in the folder lucky or what.



This makes me a happy snappy chappy

Thanks Arthur yes back plates as well



I have seen a few iveco’s with almost no back plate left. there was a bit of fiddly fabricating but worth it. You can see here the slight variation in colour on the cross member
Father thought he only needed brake pads but while it was all jacked up I gave it a good going through. Refurbished the callipers,


new disc’s and pads then notice some rust so sorted that as well then while the front was off new hoses, and a thermal fan clutch, I thought I might as well do it while its off, didn't do the cam belt, I did it the year before.

As your an Iveco fan like us, I though you would appreciate these pics .





As you say they are great trucks mechanicaly as long as you can keep on top of the tin work.

Fathers is a 1997 its the 5912 with 200,000 on the clock and still strong, he also picked up another one a couple of years ago for parts.
