Fiat 780 paint

[The Gentleman Farmer]

Restoring a Fiat 780 (an orange one, not terracotta) that isn't too rusty except for the wheels where most of the paint has falked off.
In half a mind whether to paint them or not, but cannot find the paint listed anywhere. All the white Fiat paint I can find online refers to 1986 onwards 90's series white. Is this the same colour as the orange and white on the early 80 series?

The fact that John Harrington (Cork city) is a panel beater by trade should come as no surprise to those who've seen his beautifully-restored Fiat 880 from 1980.

I think the wings have been replaced at least once on mine…
It was also kept in a shed all it’s working life, probably in fear of the tin worm.

Lovely. What a lovely job. That looks just like I hope mine might, but I don’t think I have his level of skill or dedication. Or patience!
