Deutsch term

farbneutrale Ausführung

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Transport/Logistik/Versand Train liveries
Context:
"Anstrichvorschrift für die Beschichtung von 'ABC' in farbneutraler Ausführung im dekorativen Außenbereich"

On its own, I would have thought that "farbneutrale Ausführung" may be "with a neutral colour" (i.e. primer) but "farbneutrale Ausführung im dekorativen Außenbereich" seems somehow contradictory. Might it be "with colorless varnish" or something along those lines?
Proposed translations (Englisch)
3 +3 neutral colour(s)

You are on the right track with "primer"

as well as Deckanstrich etc.
David Williams (asker) Nov 10, 2008:
It certainly doesn't mean primer because it mentions für die Farbgebung und Beschichtung sind die Anstrichzeichnungen/Einzelteilzeichnungen zu beachten.
David Williams (asker) Nov 10, 2008:
im dekorativen Außenbereich is puzzling anyway, since the specifications also detail areas such as the bogies and underframe as well as items such as the pantographs, sand box etc.
David Moore (X) Nov 10, 2008:
I don't think a "neutral colour" is necessarily primer - see my comment to Marcel; but I'd say "externally where decoration is to be applied" rather than "exterior decoration", because it obviously hasn't been yet, but provision must be made for it.

agree David Moore (X) : "neutrally-coloured", perhaps, I don't think this means "primer", but a colour which can easily be masked if required.

I designed the buses and light rails for Mannheim and Rhein-Haardt - the designs and patterns were identical, but I used blueish-green for Mannheim and shades of red for Rhein-Haardt. The thingies were delivered piece by piece from northern Germany and were painted in their respective facilities.

Peer comments on this reference comment:
neutral Ken Cox : could this mean the base finish (not the primer) -- i.e. before the individual livery is applied?\Maybe they just wanted the master's touch ;-)

Yes, exactly. The entire thing is delivered in - white. By a Tieflader.//5 trains later they should know where to place the numbers and logos. The project took 3 years..
