So is this my paint code > Titanium - LAM.210600 Titanium

D953 946.0
D952 1466.0
D772 1814.0
D740 1897.2
D743 1910.4

Or is it a combination of all of the above. Sorry if i'm being thick!

The letters and numbers below (the "D" numbers) are the PPG paint code ( the mix as such) which is based on grams per 2 litres IIRC.
Are you sure yours is Titanium, looks a bit darker than that, viper grey?
Hard to tell from the photo in the wet.

No idea what the colour is to be honest!

that is not Titanium its the dark grey or gun metal grey (not sure of the real colour name but it will be on the GT03 website.

Just looked and it is not there, a few people have this colour on here (Like Jools) so one of them may have the colour code.

It's called Viper Steel Grey if that helps at all.

When I wanted my paint code I just emailed the factory with my reg number/chassis number.
They responded within about half a day with the code.

Hi Iain,

Take the car round to Warren @ North East Autobody in Ashley Lane. He'll probably be able to figure it out. Have you tried calling the factory or the likes of Kerridges/HHC? I can recommend Warren's work if you're thinking about having the stone chips done.

Cheers,
Graeme

Morning Graeme, hows things? I think I might have seen you the other day. Do you have the Marcos afterburner style rear lights?

No I haven't been in touch with the factory yet. I'll drop them an email. Had a reply from Jools and he tells me the colour is Lotus Gunmetal.
