General Fiat 500 1957 model

[Shanil]

Hi does anyone here own a 1957 model Fiat 500? I am thinking of buying so I can restore and need some advice on the exterior colour, the registration book says orange but now the car is painted in red, does anyone know the colour code of the original orange which the 1957 fiat 500 came in?

I have been going through net and it seems that the orange is a dark orange which is almost red but I need to be sure

Any assistance much appreciated

We used to have an Orange 1971 Fiat 500 and the colour is much like the Calypso orange on the new model! It's a kind of brick orange (if that makes sense!!) Afraid I can't help with paint codes, but have you tried doing a google search?

Here's a link to an original Fiat 500 colour chart with Fiat numbers:

The colours aren't reproduced very well but you may recognise one.

Yep tried the google search but could not progress much i think in those days there were no metalic colours so it muct be the brick orange :worship:
