Yes it's the body code, usually there are around 8 letters/digits. Post them all up (or a piccie).

Gav,
your car is a couple after mine on the production line, and you are correct the paint code is "AC 00", and your car is white - correct. I sourced some paint years ago from a specialist suplier, when I did some minor touch ups.
They told me the "00" means it's a base white, nothing added or taken away. In other words a pure white.
Cheers
Roger

Roger, thanks for the help.
When you went to the specialist paint place, did you give them the code and they were able to source, or did they look at the car.

Also, is it AC 00 or AG oo (mine is slightly obscured)

Thanks

Gavin

Gav,
it was a long time ago, and I can't recall how of why I went to the particular company I used, but from memory it was something like "Brown Bros" in the West Mids - possibly Wolverhampton (this was before google was popular if you know what I mean) so not sure but I think they did it off the code.
The code is definitely "AC 00" - mine is clear.
Cheers
Roger
PS; checked and feck me I have the receipt !! I have no idea if they exist anymore, or as I say why I used them in the first place. For what it's worth their ref number was 0110094, but I doubt that would still be current.
PPS: I know this sounds a bit of a bodge, but for stone chip touch up, I use plain white radiator enamel with a fine artist brush ! Perfect match.

Brown brothers ceased trading a good few years ago...Apparently they were not PC in the current climate..rolleyes
Seriously..Gav i have been googling for ages trying to find your paint code but to no avail..What do you want it for..A touch up or complete spray job?..You have probably tried this but maybe try one from the list..Find someone who can make up paint like a sebron autostore..Not howlfords..Then see if it matches yours on a small area not seen..Under bonnet..The wheel arch tops are good as they havent been exposed to too much heat and sunlight..Just mask a small patch and dust sheet the rest..Good luck..
