I'm just completing a database on these colour combinations & I have a few gaps (as you would imagine).
With the early FB (nitro paint cars) I have combination numbers for all but 4 known paint schemes. I'm talking about the first 3 digits of the TRIM number on the body ID plate.
The ones that I am missing are:
Single tone:
Raphael Ivory
Fernando Yellow
Sandstone Beige
Two tone:
Arctic Beige (Insert) over Lucerne Blue
The other interesting thing that I've recently discovered is nitro paint FB Special wagons were only ever made in two tone. Single tone Special sedans were made (in a choice of 7 different colours) but not the wagon. Does anybody know of an early FB Special wagon that is not painted factory two tone, to disprove this ?

back in the early eighties when i was 15 i wanted to buy this car from the 1st owner ,it was still wearing its original paint
unlic -no brakes and some rust coming thru $800 so got my old man to come and have a look as he knew the owner,but my old man talked me out of it saying it was to much work to fix it ,30yrs later its now in the corner of my shed well and truly cherry picked and wearing a lovely shade of eighties metal flake .
EKDV8's post featured several sets of body numbers & guess what ? The elusive Arctic Beige insert over Lucerne Blue was one of them (combo number 338).

Hi Aussie Bob, good to hear from your, hope you are well.
I have those 2 plates listed. Both cars have a Cameo Beige roof. The first one (685) has a Dusk Plum body (the reverse of what I'm chasing). The second has Snowcrest White body.
The one I'm after (Dusk Plum roof over a Cameo Beige body) would be quite a rare combination, would it not?
