help with paint

[boss]

hi all, i need some help with identifying the colour of my disco. i have found plenty of sites with the full paintlist but they do not have the colour charts to match.
does anyone know what it is? and does anyone know where i can get this paint from pretty damn sharpish? the black spots on it have to be gone by Wednesday!
anyone have any suggestions on an alternative paint scheme like IN YOUR FACE GREEN!? but would be a shame because i like the green it is :-k

take a panel with you to H.R.G on the hardwick in kings lynn they will match it for you and give you the code if it helps
they can mix it there and then they are good my brothers a sprayer and has used them for years

Hi Boss

does it not have the paint code on the vin plate??

or have you cut that up too ;)

[boss]

haha......haha......wow lee, you have actually cracked my ribs i have laughed so hard!
there is no colour on the vinplate! :shock: i dont think.
i know for sure the number is on there but colour wise i think its blank!

eugene; what sort of sized pannel would they need? as i am typing i can feel a piece of 2"sqr body pannel diging into my leg would that be big enough or would i haveto supply a larger sample? do you know anything on a price?

I think it looks like a Loyal Dukes old Disco, not a common colour apparently :?  Can't recall what it is but I have the remains of the car somewhere.

If anything like my local paint shop, you could turn up in it and he will look out the window and tell you  :lol: :lol:
Any panel will do.... fuel flap maybe?

[boss]

fuel flap maybe?

haha just got to remember where i dumped it! :lol:

[lee celtic]

most magic eye machines need a bit about the size of your thumb nail .

if they use a flip chart it has a colour chip about 1" by 2" with a 5 mm hole in the middle they just lay the chip set over a panel and the one you can't see the hole in is the match most sets are about A4 size  :D

hi boss just a bit as long as it has the colour on it will do they are always very good at matching  :D
they are between the bmw garage and tops tiles hoppe you get sorted is it boston green maybe

[boss]

boston geen maby? looking on the charts bronze green sounded about right.....but then again i know nothing and colours names may not reflect the colour its self. hunting pink is a good example of that  :lol:
i will look about.

[boss]

am having no luck with boston green, however bronze green i think is the closest match....IIRC i matched it to that in halfrauds but with a metallic coat aswell....is that possible? but isnt it amazing that you find something else usefull when your looking for something else

Boss,
Take your VIN number to your main stealer parts desk, they can lookup the colour and code for the paint on the parts computer system.  Worked for me!

[boss]

[GreedyGibson]

yours looks the same colour as mine if i could get the bonnet open i would check my slam panel as i have seen it on there.  :oops:

[diggerdog36]

Looks like Carrigada green to me if its a 200 model.

Cheers Paul ;)
