Description
ICI Firebrigade Yellow. a very “acid” yellow, almost into green, from about 1970, designed to show up well under low-pressure sodium street lighting at night and was adopted for a while in the 1970s by a number of fire brigades. Our mission is to provide paint that is as close to the original shades as possible.

Additional information of interest
- Primer & Undercoat. We recommend using the closest colour primer & undercoat to your top coat. For ICI Firebrigade Yellow use a white primer and white undercoat.
- Spray application. All of our Enamels will need to be diluted by around 5-10% using Paintman Coach Enamel Thinners, thus ensuring the highest quality finish and maintaining correct drying times.
- Surface Preparation. Prior to painting ensure all surfaces are clean and dry to remove any contaminants. We recommend using our Surface cleaner 2800 for painted surfaces or our Surface Cleaner 2802 for bare metal. Surfaces should be keyed at each layer to maintain adhesion. Just prior to painting, wipe the surface with a Tack Rag to remove dust and other loose contaminants.
- Aerosols. Aerosols in all colour variants are available, however if the option is not listed, please contact us for further information. Special order aerosols are subject to a minimum order quantity of 4.
