I bought a Dulon/Dulux/Duco car paint color catalog on auction a while ago. The title is "3D Car Color Directory; A Comprehensive Guide to Colour Identification; N0. 11 Sept. 1976". Bellett is given its own page, not under a heading of "Isuzu", but Bellett is listed as the manufacturer. The information is as follows:

Colour Identification
No paint identification is used on Bellett vehicles. Code Nos. shown are taken from dealer catalogues.

1964
Colour Name_____Colour No._____Code No.
Bellett Blue______8385__________0091
Bellett Green_____8386__________0089
Foam White______7164__________0045
Glacial Blue_______7165_________0087
Meadow Green____0086_________0086
Narcissus Yellow__7167__________0085
Samoa Blue______7168__________0084

1965-66
Colour Name_____Colour No._____Code No.
Fairy Blue________1936_________0099
Foam White______7164_________0045

Inlet Blue________8732_________0089
Luzali Blue________8559_________0090
Mews White______1201_________0011
Puppy Brown______8560_________0093
Roman Red_______8561_________0092
Wasp Blue________8438

1967-69
Colour Name_____Colour No._____Code No.
Beige (M)________10021________0004
Elf Blue__________11891
Elf Grey__________10458
Gardenia White____10926________0008
Glacial Blue_______7165_________0087
Honey Yellow_____11881________0023
Light Olive Green__12064________0097
Light Yellow______10020________0005
Luzali Blue________8559________0090
Madder Red______10927________0002
Metallic Blue______10479_______0003
Mews White______1201_________0011
Olive (M)_________10022_______0097
Pigeon Grey______11520________0015
Polynesian Blue___10929________0016
Roman Red_______8561________0092
Royal Blue (M)____11507________0017
Silver Gray (M)___10018________0088
Twilight Gray_____11882________0024
White___________10019________0011

1970
Colour Name_____Colour No._____Code No.
Adonis Yellow____12553_________0029
Ilex Green_______12552
Magnolia White___12554
Maple Orange____12551

1972-74 Isuzu Trucks
Colour Name_____Colour No._____Code No.
Isuzu Grey_______15195
Turquoise________17078

I had hoped this information would be useful in deciphering paint codes to mix paint. However, when I went to the Dupont paint store, they explained these were not paint codes in their system. More research revealed that Dupont and Duco were competitors in the paint business. Duco was based in Australia, and Dupont basically ran them out of the automotive paint business with stiff competition. Duco now sells only house paint. And none of the Duco paint codes were ever translated into Dupont mix recipes. So what promised to be a source for paint codes ended up as a wild goose chase.

If You check with Dulux. Some years ago they were good enough to place the Bellett paint codes in the FLEET listings. They did this so that they would not be lost. Whether they still have them there is an unknown but worth a try

If you have any contact information for Dulux, please share.

I can only find dulux.com and duluxpaints.com.
They have no link to an Australian website or headquarters on their website, and all divisions show only interior and exterior building paint. It appears all of their automotive paint information was lost when they closed that division.

Q. I thought Dulux used to make automotive and refinish paints but you don't have any on your website.

A. At one time Dulux Australia supplied a number of automotive paints for the manufacture of new vehicles, but this segment of the business was sold to PPG in 1997. Dulux now market a full range of Dulux AutoSpeed Refinish paints for the repair and repainting of vehicles. For more information on the Dulux AutoSpeed Refinish range, contact Dulux Refinish on 03 8368 7664, or the Dulux Refinish Customer Service department on 1800 810 114

International phone number would be +61 3 8368 7664

This PPG reference also led me to PPG automotive refinishes North America.:

Good luck!

Thanks for the research JT191

I really like the 1970 Adonis Yellow colour - obviously named after the Greek God for aesthetics and all things desirable.
I assume it was only available in sedans :lol: :lol: ???

Listing is correct, but....

Checked my cars.
(Sedan) 66 code 0011: Mews White. Correct. Car still is. Fairly common.
(Sedan) 67 code 0092: Roman Red. Correct. Car was when I got it. Not now and to be changed again soon. Fairly common.
(GT) 68 code 0011: Mews White. Correct. Car was when I got it. Still white but different shade. Most common GT white, but most GT's weren't white.
(Sedan) 69 code 0017: Royal Blue (Metallic). Correct. Car still is. Rare as hell.

List is incomplete tho.
"Zwart Black" is not listed. Checked known factory black car, but label is missing....
Will dig thru paperwork to try and find the code.

Just found my listing charts.... One is dated May 22, 1967. Says it replaces chart issued Nov 1, 1964.
Still no Zwart Black, but imnot surprised. Was a special order only colour, and only 5 known that came here.

This chart does list the tinter numbers and quantities for 10 colours tho.....

Kenny’s Automotive Paints used to have all the Bellett paint codes. Not sure if they still exist but they were oin Smithfield on The Horsley Drive.
Kevin will know them.

I have a question for oz_toffa. I noticed you have a Roman Red 1965 Bellett.

I was wondering if you have had paint mixed up for yours as My mate at one of the local and the best spare parts stores here in Cessnock and I have spent hours trying to find the formula to mix the Isuzu Roman Red.

If you have a copy of the formula tgat you can share it would be much appreciated as I am trying to get my 1966 1/2ready for blue slip and Nationals.

Just a side note I am also trying to get my latest Bellett a 1967 ready as well. It is a very pale blue almost white.

Thank you
Fredojohn
