Pictures of Daytona's in Azzurro 106-A-32

There are several shades used at same time at that are close, in particular Celeste Chiaro metalizzato ( which is more blueish than Azzuro) and Celeste metalizzato. ( definitely more green grey and lighter) .But all those colors are changing depending of light source and intensity. I have my car being repainted in Celeste Chiaro metalizzato as this was the matching color underneath , and on period pictures, but interestingly not the one indicated by factory sources. We bought ( actually the body shop) at Pebble the period set of color samples , cost an arm and a leg and it is going through spectrometer..

 

Jacques, was sort of expecting this question, Stu said he chose for the red as it was on the car for 40 years, but since it is now apart this far, it makes total sense to avoid resale-red and go back to the original colour. Any metallic blue looks great on a Daytona, sorry, can't help with a pic of what you're looking for.

Your body-shop should be able to make a spray-out for you, if you have problems obtaining a formulation let me know.

Best,

Jack.

 

As my tapatalk is not working on my iphone since the IOS7 upgrade I've sent you a pic on twitter of my Dad's GTC4 which was described as Azzuro when he brought it from DK. Can't confirm if its the correct paint code or not though.

 

I have the samples in front of me, Azzuro metalizzato is NOT vivid blue but more a grayish kind of blue ( compared to Celeste Chiaro which is more blue, at least).
My problem is even more complicated because what we found underneath is an identifiable color but does not match the factory records,,,but period pictures don't match either and are in line with what we see today!

 

Thanks will post on here when I'm back on my computer.

So either the build sheet is wrong or a previous owner did a bare metal respray. Any way to determine which is correct?

 

This may seem like potatoes potahto, but can someone come up with a reference for the correct spelling of azzurro/azzuro and metalizzato/metallizzato/metalizzatto/whatever? Usage seems to wander all over the map. Thanks!

 

Peter:
Original colors are usually NOT listed on the factory build sheets. That is a popular misconception. They are listed on other internal factory documents such as the Foglio Allestimenti, the Foglio Commerciale, the Rimesso (delivery note) or the Invoice.

Re post #12: look at the proper spelling below.

for US spec cars I remember choosing paint color from PPG color samples... previous post shows images of color samples supplied from Glidden and Scaglietti... indicating that there were several paint suppliers to the factory... the factory was accommodating paint colors to customer specifications... I recall the PPG color samples being very extensive with the bound stack of chips in the neighborhood of 3 inches thick... finding the correct shade from sample colors would need a comparison from all paint sources or a computer analysis of old sample

 

15677 is some sort of Azzurro.
Here's a link to pictures of it:

FERRARI 365 GTB/4 | Beerens

 

Photos 1 and 3 in Post #14 show the BACK sides (rear) of the color samples!!
That is just plain gray, NOT Azzurro.

Not "some sort of......".
Daytona #15677 was originally painted Azzurro Metallizzato 106-A-32.
As of 2008 it was still in the original colors. I do not know when the pix in that link were taken, I guess approx. 2011.

Originally a total of 43 Daytonas were painted new Azzurro Metallizzato 106-A-32.

Nice ferrari sign.. Where can i get one?

 

any commercial sign shop can generate that font for you in any size you want...

 

azzurro metallizzato is the proper spelling as per Marcel's post #19

 

it's easier for those English speaking.... it's called blue metallic 106-A-32... the language can change the paint code can't :=)
