    I can't remember exactly but it will be an RAL colour; Google for a colour chart.

    Does grey predate the red chassis colour Colin?

    I think we offered a choice ( limited!).
    You could always ring Spyder in Peteboro', they are still in business.

    I see?
    I've seen photos of this car:

    with a grey coloured chassis and no removable bar at the back of the engine cradle.
    I think it was post Beta wishbones though?

    That car is the original Transformer prototype/demo car and its chassis was painted grey unlike the first production cars which were black. Since being sold to Germany it has had a few mods/updates! Originally the engine/trans were mounted on the donor(beta) subframe and was fitted from underneath, so the car didn't need the rear bar to be removable.

    So the answer on colour is not a RAL colour (it was close but not close enough). So had some grey/blue paint mixed from a sample chip that matched....

    Re: Paint colour of Spyder chassis

    Coming back to the paint colour I contacted Spyder who could not help as they worked to Transformer Cars intructions either bare chassis or stove enamelled to Gerry Hawkridges instructions.

    i guess the best way will be to take the rear cross member to my paint wholesaler.

    my Chassis number is SPY0831187....

    I guess it was a RAL as it was powder coated... Found the RAl colour charts on screen but this does not help due to screen (not calibrated) is not in the garage!!!!

    Anyone know???
