Does anyone know the code for this paint?

The above was all that was on the plaque under the bonnet.

Any idea were to get a touch up pen?

Cheers

John

Halfords can mix something up for you. Be aware that they can be a bit hit and miss with some colours, though.

Is it stone chips you're planning on fixing? Someone posted some info on here recently and I've been wracking my brain trying to remember what it was. Some kind of magical paint which you smear over the stone chip and then just wipe off the excess with a special solution. I think it could have been Tubber who posted it. Looked impressive. I'll try and find the link.

Anyway, they'll mix the paint, from what I understand.

Thanks but can they do that just from the name under the bonnet? I would have thought they still need a code....

I've used this product and have had reasonably good results. The colour match to my car is excellent.

Hmm... not sure. Have you tried the main dealer for the code?

 

[jcf]

Call Ross at Ross Packard paint in the New Forest, he know it all, say Matt says hi.

Oh. Fair enough. If there's no code (which I suppose makes sense if the colours are fairly constant across models, years and so on) then a local paintshop should be able to mix you up a small pot. Mine did. I'll see if Dr. Colorchip can mix a pot of its magic paint in Grigio Alfieri. Even if it's not a perfect match it'll be better than it is now.

It seemed time for a jolt of something more Italian.

 

[hodroyd]

Not saying I didn't like it, but did not recognise you in disguise..!!

 

[Felonious Crud]

To be honest, Robert, I didn't recognise myself, either.

 

[hodroyd]

Well you still have the Italian colours there so don't feel you have let the side down..!!

 

[Felonious Crud]

That's what I thought, Robert. I pimped-a ma dog.
