Gday, Have been trying to decide on the colour to paint my rolla as her exterior has seen much better days :) i have thought about either a total strip and painting it in british racing green, or respraying her in the colour it currently is, however i don't know for the life of me whether or not the colour on there now is a factory spray, if anyone has any information to share on this it would be most appreciated :)

Hey bud

pm me the paint code and i will check on the PPG database for you

 

cheers

Woz

apparently this is a good reference.

stolen from old post

 

Paint code reference

 

check the code on the car and see if it matches any of the colours, may have had a respray in the past, or not listed above. nothing there looks close to your colour, but i have a gaurd that looks similar.

 

hope this helps

ahh where do i find the paint code on the car :P

Or you can put paint into the search function.......

Mine was that same colour when we got it. I was told it was original??

sorry for repost fellas, my bad, first time ive actually posted without searching first :blush:

still strugling to match one of those colours to my car, i dunno what codes I'm supposed to be matching up to be honest

No idea on the actual code, but it looks extremely similar to colour of my mum's first car which she bought new back in '69 so would be quite surprised if it's not a factory colour (or very close to one).

I reckon it's factory too. Realistically, the simplest thing to do is to take the petrol filler flap off and get a paint shop to match to the colour on the inside.

 

I recently did just that and the paint guys took two hours, but you will get the coulour you need.

Aight, cool, too easy... Thanks for the help fellas, fingers crossed they can match it
