Hi all,
I am trying to repair the wings (corrosion) on my CI motorhome. It required a plate to be welded on, where there was a radio aerial fitted. A previous owner had mounted the aerial on a stainless plate, that was screwed onto the wing. The rust had spread around that area. It was so bad, I hacksawed a large ( 12in x 4in) hole in the wing (the reason for the welding).

To cut a long story short, most of the top part needed attention. It is now filled sanded and primed.

The colour-code for the finish is JU. I bought one can of JU**** beige from Halfords. It is the wrong shade, far too dark, I think it was called Tucsony Beige?

The question I want to ask is: does anyone know what the original beige was called, or the correct code?

It may be the correct shade but yours may have faded, take it to a real motorfactors who has a paint mixing facility and they will mix you some.

Thankyou for rapid reply. Someone walking by suggested that. I appreciate that the colour has faded, but the interior of the cab seems fairly bright and glossy, it is a very much lighter shade than what I have sprayed on the wing. The (Ford) chassis, plate is inside the cab on the nearside, just says `paint JU`, the log book says beige.

Cheers,

Caulky.

Take it to the motorfactors or a small paint shop whom mix their own they will advise. Slightly off subject we needed to match some emulsion up at home, took a piece down to the local decorators merchant he had a camera looking device he placed over our sample and it matched the paint perfectly.

OK, I have solved the problem. It appears that the Ford beige (JU) is right. Peeling part of the `top coat` off, reveals the original shade, I thought that was undercoat. CI, the coach-builders, then sprayed their beige over the top. Speaking to a former `coach-builder`, he seems to think that this is the normal procedure.

Which doesn`t help my problem at all. Thinking of spraying the whole cab white...Ford standard Diamond white. My spraying talents are abominable.

Hi Pete, Welcome to the best site on the web about camping and campers.

It sounds like your van may be the same,or similar to ours, a Mk 2 Transit Ci Motorhome with single rear wheels ?

If so, just click on my 'gallery images' at the side of my box to check it out.

Good Luck,

Bill.

Hi Bill & Pete,

Well Bill, the pictures look very similar to mine, except the cab colour!. Maybe mine will look similar soon. Due to constant vandalism, I am going to replace the original wing-mirrors, the glass is now obsolete (so I was informed by local Ford outlet), and Halfords were not much help either. The glass used to be £9.99 each, needed six replacements recently (ouch). Visited local breaker, picked up a pair of later Ford wing mirrors and stems for £15.
