Arquus ACMAT paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on ACMAT vehicles: 8 colours, 7 with a recorded paint code, 1 whose hex is marked as the registry’s estimate. Each hex is a representative value — averaged from photographed factory chips or quoted from a standard — not a measured match; the code is what to give a paint supplier.

The sand ACMAT's vehicles are most often seen in. Not a published paint code; the hex is an approximation.

No factory code recorded. The hex and RGB here are the registry's estimate from photographs and period descriptions, not a matched chip — do not order paint from them without further research.
