Paint code on DAF 46

[stevethenortherner]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to have my 1975 DAF 46 resprayed and I'm trying to find the paint code, so far without success.  Can anyone help please?  This is like mine.

DAF did not use numbers only names. but you are lucky because OVLOV also ovlovised this and gave them the following codes (3 digit type is same as for V66/343)

snow white = ''ivora'' = no 66 (166)

off white = ''kobina'' = no 59

it might even be included in your servicecode on the type plate after 46xx -

The numbers on my service code are 462308.  Does this have any bearing then on the paint colour?

Hi,
I have a 1973 UK paint and upholstery chart,the only indication from the card is that your 46 is painted in KOBINA, the only other whitish colour is SUEDE which is nowhere near that of your 46. Having recently been looking for paint for my 33 van, my motorfactor found colour swatches[fans] for Daf colours which their paint matching/mixing system uses.Obviously their system uses their own code for mixing vehicle colours.If you PM me I'll see what info.they can give me ref.Kobina..........starider

Hi, have had a look through my 33 Parts Catalogue which lists all the DAF colours and there is a colour white I had forgotten which is Albina. The only help the catalogue gives are the Daf part numbers for each colour[of which there are 30!!],I don't think the part numbers are much use to you.It may be an idea to contact Danny who will probably have codes......starider

Yes I think that KOBINA white is the colour to go for from my own searches. If only car companies made it simpler when deciding what paint to use.  Just print out the name somewhere on the car FFS!  It would make identification so much easier.

<<service code are 462308>> that's the type 4623 and version no 08.
sometimes (later ovlov chassisplates?) there is more behind that no specifying paint and upholstery color.

But i'm sure it is Kobina allright for this year. you can see it in the 1975 prospect for the 66, colors are on the last page, same for the whole range in that year.

Citroen has used small round ''dogtags'' stamped with the color no ACxxx, riveted to the bulkhead for ages (until the late 80s when they printed it somewhere in the engine bay instead). Peugeot also printed the color code rather big on the inner front wing. Daf never did that.

I will be wanting some paint for my 33 before long. It is blue, and the infamous PO has written blauw 0-5-0870-2 on the papers. Does anyone recognise this?

[starider]

Hi, will have a look in the 33 parts manual later today.

Hi all,
Newbie here. My recently acquired Daf 66 estate is Terrana. Anyone have a number for it?
Thanks

Your 33 is the same blue as my 33 - Marina Blue.

I had the car resprayed a few years ago - original same colour - and the workshop people were able to get the correct shade quite easily.

[starider]

Hi bobdisk, The colour of your DAF 33 is Marina, my 33 Parts manual just lists this colour as Marina and only gives a part number. If you have problems finding someone to provide the paint let me know what type of paint you need i.e. cellulose,2 pack or coach paint, how much you need,thinners etc. I can get a quote. But if you are having it sprayed professionally the sprayer should be able to get the colour mixed. Be aware that the old paint will have faded and my be difficult to match if re-spraying odd panels.

Hi bobdisk, sorry I took so long replying, I had written the reply many hours ago, but hadn't pressed send. grumm, once again I have the DAF part number for Terrana, but not the code. I will ask my paint supplier if he has a list of DAF paint codes which I can publish.
