Salchi paint sticker

Apologies now if it’s been asked 100 times but could not find anything here.. anyone have a source for these Salchi paint stickers? Superformance only have the later ones.

Euro spares have one but it’s a different shape and finish.

Many thanks in advance Image Unavailable, Please Login

I don't think they exist. There was a very brief period post Glidden circa 1978 where only the Salchi brand was on the sticker. After this, Salchi was dropped for another supplier.

Great job, David!

 

Which is best on a concourse? scruffy and original but exact and new? I ask because mine is scruffy but particularly my windscreen sticker which was removed and reattached.

Thanks very much David! I will PM you now.

Scruffy and original I expect.

However, my car did not have a sticker when I bought it which is why I remade some. Same with the support rod spool... it was missing from the car and none are available so I made it myself. Finding solutions to NLA parts is one aspect of owning these old cars I actually enjoy.

 

David I’ll pay you for one but I have no idea where it goes on my car. I’ll snoop sone strictly Ferrari posts to find out though!

 

If these are available to the community, I'd be interested in one as well.

My original Salchi label came to me damaged, and I replaced it with a newer yellow Glidden since that was all that I could find back at that time.

No one has ever questioned whether or not the Glidden was correct for the car, but the fact that -I- know that is inaccurate has bothered me ever since!

Thanks - DM

 

The single field Salchi labels I have redrawn are the correct ones for cars built between November 1978 and when Glasurit took over (1981 or 82 depends on the color).

Between November 1977 and November 1978, the correct label is a two field Salchi label which I don't have but can reproduce if someone gives me the dimensions of the label. It’s more of a square label than the later label.

Before November 1977, the correct label is a two-field Glidden-Salchi label which, again, I can also reproduce if someone gives me the dimensions of the label.

Since a few people seem to want these, I will make another batch. Please PM me your postal addresses if you want some. When they arrive, feel free to paypal me what you think they are worth. Covering at least the postage would be appreciated

Regards
David

P.S. I wrote more on the history of the 308 paint labels here: http://308restoration.com/2019/03/308-paint-labels/

 

Me neither Check your user manual... it might just be drawn on a diagram somewhere.

 

Or Google 308 user manual pdf! There's 2 good sites for most of our cars.
I assume David you increased the size to match my original. I agree with what you say on scruffy original and NLA. I've been doing a bit lately. I admire your paint label greatly.

Good stuff, thanks! Since mine is a September 1980 build, the above sounds like a match! Just holler once you are ready to roll, and we'll send address and funds info to you.

And, on a related subject, there must be a chart someplace out there on the web which gives the paint color code info, which would have been written on these labels, as a function of the paint color and the build year. Would hate to go to all of the effort to use a correct label, only to bugger it by not knowing the exact and correct color code to be placed upon said new label!

Thanks and Cheers - DM

Hope this helps. Rgds

 

It's curious to me that the double field sticker on #22963 doesn't reflect the numbers that are given on the http://www.308-328.com/308/308specstylen.html website. I think it's original to the car - it's the one that has been on it since 1989 when I bought it.

That is because the paint codes on 308-328.com are Salchi paint codes. Your label says Italver paint so I presume that code means something in the Italver paint system. Italver were the paint supplier to Ferrari before Glidden Salchi (and long before 308 production)... what it is doing on your car is an interesting mystery... a color change perhaps... a special request/paint to sample perhaps...

What color do you think you car is?

 

Is there any possibility you could measure the width and height of your label?

 

Huh! Looks like there was not a Rosso Corsa for the early cars (like mine)? I had thought that it was the most popular color at the time?

Isn't that what I have, below?

Salchi’s Ferrari red was called Rosso Chiaro. There was no Rosso Corsa until Glasurit paint was used.

I call it Silver. the http://www.308-328.com/308/308specstylen.html site calls it "Argento Auteuil."

Andrew, yes I redid the label design using the dimensions you gave me.

Thank you

Pardon the tardiness of my reply. We've been busy. I measured today and found 2 3/8 inches wide by 1 15/16 inches high. The attached photo shows the placement of the sticker on the lid. I have no reason to believe that it isn't the original sticker, the original placement, and the original paint.

Labels have been posted out to those that gave me their addresses. If anyone else wants some please private message me your details on fchat or contact me via 308restoration.com and I'll send them out. Final version is shown in the photo below (didn't realize it was quite so squint when I put it on)

I'll be attempting to reproduce the two earlier Salchi stickers in the future also.

David
