1 x Beer Token for anyone that recognises this paint colour.

Lost the paint code, no idea even what manufacturer the paint came from, only that it's an actual colour and not custom mixed.

It's grey, but with a hint of blue in it?! Sometimes looks quite a light blue, sometimes a dark grey, but overall, the pictures are the closest I can show of the "real" colour.

Anyone recognise it from anything at all?? Or can get close?

It's not audi aviator grey, nimbus grey, etc.

It looks a little like Vauxhall's Silver Lightning (163), not sure though...

Audi Dolomite Grey?

[TotalControl]

^^ What I would have guessed. But it appears to be a shade lighter and a little bit more misty.

Is it possibly Brisa Blue - a SEAT colour? Nice looking colour.

although i don't think that's an original colour, just lacquered battleship primer grey

[TheEnd]

Apparently Aviator grey...

Saab Dolphin Grey?

[SlowStig]

Looks like RAF blue to me. One of the guys on retro rides did his MX5 in the colour and that one looks very similar!

edit:
RAF PRU satin Blue

We had a car in recently that needed some paint for preparation but it wasn't a standard colour. Took it to our local paint supplier and from his colour swatch we matched it as Audi Suzuka grey which is a special order colour (and a very nice one at that). No way we would have known what it was otherwise.

BMW Basalt Blue?

I had a 1983 E30 320i that was painted in that colour, looked like primer to be honest but suited the car quite well.

Could be Perlite Grey from Mercedes

[Snails]

Lunar Grey from Renault as seen on the Clio V6?

Suzuka is a lot more white.

Looks like Audi Nimbus Grey to me OP.

It looks like Galaxy Grey. My RX8 was the same colour and had a hint of blue in it.

There's no way it's Galaxy Grey, thats darker and more metallic.

[CarbonBlackM5]

Close call but Galaxy Grey looks more matallic.

Sure its not that Aviator Grey? It looks very close and changes a lot in different light.




Not a mile off but maybe not quite there yet either - Saab Dolphin Grey.

ETA: Slightly too blue perhaps? and has a hint of green too in top pic.
