hi from TORINO! here's my hpe and some questions...
« on: February 25, 2017, 11:33:54 PM »

Hi all beta enthusiasts.
quite new here... I present my 78HPE 1600cc rosso nearco.
I bought one year and half ago... in good general shape... but lot of things have been fix this year too  ;)  (lots of question to come...!!!)
here some pics and a question:
do you know the standard ALLOY WHEELS (see pic below) EXACT COLOUR CODE? I have a set that I want to repair and repaint to substitute the Lancia original accessori line currently monted...

Nice looking car, I don't know the colour code for the alloys although I think there were two different shades depending on the year.

I think FPS was mainly on early cars, cromadora on late series

The one in the photo is FPS which are the common ones I think. Sorry no idea on colour code.

Welcome to the forum.

I wouldn't worry too much about the wheel colour. I am pretty sure the colour code is another unanswerable question that has been raised on here before.

I did mine in a metallic bright silver and they look fine. I would concentrate on the remainder of what is a lovely looking car.

I did my alloys in Alluminimo mettalico 135 powdercoat. Same colour as my 1979 HPE.

good luck
