paint colour
Hello I am trying to find the correct paint colour of blue for my classic. It is a 1993 200Tdi On the chassis plate the paint code box is blank. I have contacted Dingocroft to place an order & they have narrowed it down to either Plymouth blue or Agean blue The paint is a metalic dark blue. There is no reference on the log book to paint code. Does anybody at RRR have any idea as to which colour of blue I should be ordering???? Thanks Mark |

Re: paint colour
Despite the area on the VIN plate LR couldn't be bothered to put a paint code on. Sometimes you will find a small sticker with the colour name & code near to the plate. www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk has a full list of colours. Franchised dealer would be able to tell you the colour as would a Motor Factor who could check with colour swatches. I would advise you to check it against colour swatches. Plymouth is coded as JUJ and 434. In Nexa Autocolour I see there are two shades listed, one being slightly darker Aegean is coded as JUR and 490. It also has two shades, one being slightly darker. |

Re: paint colour
thanks for your reply I had indeed noticed the sticker you mention but ,unfortunately, after 17 odd years it is no longer ledgidable(spelt wrong---oh the youth of today!). As I have pranged the front wing (mishap in the snow, due to driver error , I might add- namely me, are we allowed to say PLONKER on the forum?). I could send Dingocroft a sample which they could hopefully try & match. Are Dingocroft a main dealer or should I send the sample direct to a paint supplier, can you recommend somebody. I am in France so cannot take it to a UK main dealer French main dealer just provide the Gallic shrug. Remember boys & girls, be careful in the snow!! Even with studded tyres all round I came a cropper! Luckily, nothing that can,t be fixed, nobody hurt etc. but hey, I,d rather spend my time with my family than having to reshape my body work. cheers Mark |

Re: paint colour
I hadn't realised you were in France. Although the French do have accidents, so they must get the paint from somewhere! Can you find a local body repair specialist & ask them where they get it from? Don't forget that metallics need a lacquer coat over them as well so you are going to need both. |
