Hi all. Is there any method of identifying the exact colours for Eriba caravans? I am planning on repairing the bottom of the door of our 91 Pan Familia as its beginning to flake apart. The grey colour is what I'm after. See below.

Colin/Paula, I'm not sure if it is worth trying to get the original colour spec/code as the van has probably faded with age. I'd be tempted to get the best visual match.

Thanks Colin. We dont believe the colours have faded though, so are wondering if something like the details on the ID plate can tell us something?

I don't believe the colour code is hidden in the plate number. I know the white over silver models had Fiat colour codes, but that's ofno help to you unfortunately.

I suspect this is the way forward. Repairing the dimpled bottom will be the really tricky part.
