Please can any body help.i have a 1991 familia. Can any one tell me the colour of the lower paint.is it a gold Or a matalic brown.

It looks to me like it may be the standard silver that has aged to a more bronze finish. I had a 2001 Troll 540 and this effect was noticeable on all the plastic exterior bodyparts. I suspect that given an additional 10 years the paint colour on the metal parts would deteriorate in the same way.

For confirmation I'd have a chat with Sandy at Jandi.

If you're restoring a '91 you'll have a quandary, do you paint it the original silver or try and find a bronzey silver that matches the aged colour.

have a look in the gallery there is a few familias of different ages
hope this helps

I think there were a range of colours Andy, Purple, Bronze, Yellow.
Perhaps these are the lower half colours referred to.

I did say lower half colours Roger (ok so its lower quarter)

That would be a very late use of that colour scheme.

The Google Images link I posted was for a '1991 Familia' and a lot of the images are of 1991 vans. As you'll see most had the lower portion is painted with stripes in the same colour above. In some pictures it looks silver and in some bronze but I think the silver ones are probably those that have been stored indoors or under cover. The bronze ones are partly the pics colour balance and partly weathering. Either way a call to Sandy is the best course 'cos he'll give you paint codes an' all.

Just get an easy chair and a vacuum flask ready before phoning
