My 71 Coupe's paint code...and a sensor


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to figure out the paint on my Bluebird Coupe.  I see so many different gold/yellow colors, I'm not sure which it is. The car looks so different depending on the light.  Here are a few different pictures of it, it's yellow, bronze, gold...

I'm also looking for what this sensor/relay is? I thought it was the horn relay, but from what I found, they usually are three wire.

This is 4. It came off the shock tower area.  Sorry for the worse pictures possible.

I think that's one of the "prismatic" paints.  They came out on show cars and SEMA display vehicles several years ago and one manufacturer [uS Domestic I think] actually sold vehicles with that type of paint.  Can't help any further, hope this blows the cobwebs out of someone's head who can give solid info on paint manufacturer.

 

I would call the color "Root Beer."

On a US spec car, this would be the Reverse indicator switch used in conjunction with the automatic trans.  And yes it would have 3 wires.  I can't say for certain if it's used the same for the JDM car.  Perhaps you should PM the510keeper, as he probably has the most experience with Coupes.
