Does anyone know offhand the factory color name or number for the Grob 103 orange and blue?

Our 103 Twin II had red on the tips and nose, not orange.

Factory colour name for the orange on a Twin II is "Orange RAL 2004 Nitro-Cellulose-Kombilack" from Lackfabrik Bader KG. This is from the original manual for our 1986 G-103. Weird thing is they call it red paint in the manual.. There's also no spec for the blue paint on the ship. Why they used nitrocellulose lacquer I have no idea. The only other thing I own finished with that sort of paint is a 1967 Fender Mustang.

Your local automotive paint dealer will probably match the color for you. I got matching blue and orange that way, but I took in a broken hunk of the nose of a G-103. Check with them first and then maybe pull the trailer to your paint shop.
