Pultra 1750

[Dell]

I know it’s a long shot but can anyone please tell me what the paint code is for the cream pultra 1750 is as I have just purchased one and I am going to refurbish it , at the moment I have a Derbyshire Magnus 10mm lathe but I am in UK and although Derbyshire are still going to get things shipped over hear cost an arm & a leg , and pultra were made in UK and have been taken over by Smart & Brown, I have asked them but they said they only paint them in green but I would like to use original colour.

Thanks Dell

As promised update on progress so far of Pultra lathe including new brushless motor.

I would suggest that if all else fails take a part of that colour you require to a car paint supplier or one of the auto supply shops and see if they can colour match it, Many have paint mixing facilities.

Hi watchweasol 

the green is the last colour that Pultra used before shutting down, the original cream I could have got it matched but then I thought the cream would show all the marks but hopefully not so much with the green.

Hi Of the two colours I much prefer the green, looking very nice like to see a picture of the finished article.

More updates on my Pultra 17/70 restoration, almost ready to go now, been making long small T nuts and a plate to fit Multifix QCTP a friend has made an extension for the tool rest because being 70mm centre my tool rest was way short.
