What's my body colour called?

Can anyone please tell me what my body colour is called?

Thanks.

Shiney,

Haven't got a clue. If no one else knows you should be able to get the paint code from the ID plate in the engine bay. Inside of the NSF wing if I recall correctly.

Post the paint code up and someone should be able to look it up for you.

Regards

Andy

Thanks Andy, I'll look it up in my lunch break.

**mraldonnelly** · Friday 6th January 2006, 10:41

No worries. When you fond the ID plate you'll see it's got two columns and six rows. The paint code should be in the right hand column, third row down.

I think the paint code should be three digits. Post what it is and I'll try and find out the colour if no-one else has it.

Regards

Andy

RUBBISH! It's clearly Nautic Blue Pearl! LOL.

You're probably right. It's otherwise know as simply Pearl Red.

I've found some paint codes. 414 is Ruby Red, 418 is Pearl Red or Regent Red Metallic and 428 is Coral Red Metallic.

I think Coral Red Metallic is slightly lighter than Shiney's car. There's a V70 T5 parked over the road from my office which is paler than Shiney's which I'd guess is Coral.

Re load your avatar. Some months ago there was a problem and they got screwed up. Reloading should sort it.

Don't know what colour it is but looks good

I know this sounds silly but I had a funny feeling it was called something like autumn gold.....almost certain it had gold in the title?

Yes I know, its on a red / burgundy cloured car.

Just need to know the colour for getting some made up into a touch up paint.

definetly regent red pearl, had a 95 850glt estate in this colour.

**mraldonnelly** · Friday 6th January 2006, 12:57

That's colour code 418 then.

Halfrauds do a touch up kit for around a tener which is actually quite good.

I like the cream leather and that colour combo on mine.... The lighter interior seems to set the car off well..... Just wish i could find a 2nd hand glove box lid, as mine is held on with velcro atm! lmao

Call Oliver at TMS... give him your registration number.. he puts it in the computer.. and 5 seconds later.. he can tell you what colour your car is. he did that for me when I wanted to know my colour..... all u need is the number plate. job done.. no need to look for ID numbers anywhere....
