I was told by the original owner of my March 719 FF that the orange color the car originally had was from the factory. Does anyone have color plates or matches for Specialised Mouldings colors? Is it possible it was the same orange as McLaren?
TIA
Original colors for Specialised Mouldings?

It may be worth shooting an email to Marchant & Cox in the UK. They may be able to help or point you in the right direction.

The paperwork on my Lola T322 states the color as McLaren Orange.
The bodywork still has the original Specialised Mouldings Ltd. sticker.
I hope this information is helpful.
Ken, that's a huge confirmation for me! Now I can start putting things in order for the paint work!

McLaren Orange correct name is Papaya Orange.

Thanks for the correction!

Pigment
Almost all Specialised Mouldings colours were Ryland pigment - I know Lola and Tiga used them. (now [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Llewellyn Ryland) [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Pigment for Resins / Flocoats / Gelcoats (RAL - Polyester colour paste)
Try this from a quick search

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] RAL 1034 (PCP28092) Orange Polyester Pigment (Contains Lead)

A friend of mine used to have Denny Hulme's M20 and since he's the most detail-oriented Vintage guy I know, he told me that the color was
RAL 1028 Melon Yellow

He got this information from the McLaren Trust (Duncan Fox)
