My Paint Code is 906 - what's the real name of the color?

[rosso]

On my 1972 510 wagoon, I have the original sticker on the front crossmember under the hood and it is still legible - so I know 906 is correct code.

 

I have seen some internet sites/posts that call this color Safari Brown, Gold, and even I think Orange. What is the official color name? Anyone know for sure?

 

My title and registration says the car is Orange.

 

Here's the car with original somewhat faded paint.  :-(

 

 

Thanks,

Michael

aka Rosso because my first 510 was red.

906 is Safari Brown. This is from the list of touch up paints in the 510 parts manual here:

Thanks Tedman! - I had browsed the FutoFab site (which is great) but had not found the paints.

 

I sure appreciate the link, too bad they don't sell it, I will need to find a source. Know anyone that sells rattle cans of custom color paint ? Or any kind of container.

 

Cheers,

Michael

A paint supplier can put it in a spray can for you. I've done it a bunch of times. Eventually I just has them mix up a 2k paint and bought a gun and did it that way.
