Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

I'm in the middle of restoring my 69 elan S4. It was British Gacing Green with bumpers the same. I'm thinking silver but thing the orginal color of the bumpers was gold. As I stripped the bumper it looks like it was green over silver over gold. Can anyone help me with the color code for the silver? Or maybe the gold?

As a rule of thumb, S1 to S4 bumpers were silver, Sprints were gold.

There is a helpful paint section in the Robinshaw & Ross book and at <a href='http://www.elanfactory.com.au/pdf/technical_information/Lotus%20Paint%20Codes.pdf' target='_blank'>http://www.elanfactory.com.au/pdf/technica...int%20Codes.pdf</a> which gives the Elan Bumpers Silver Lacquer as Lotus part no.
