What's my colour ??

[PetrolHeadPete]

Have a 2002 Tuscan Mk1 in what's called Eclipse Blue

Anybody know if that's a BMW colour...that's what I was told by seller, but cant seem to get a touchup stick that matches...

if the body code on your car is P422-1204B then this is a renault colour, code 466, if that is not the code post it and i will try to cross reference it

[PetrolHeadPete]

Code is P965-1204B

[potato muncher]

as its got part of the same code i will make enquiries tomorrow and let you know, i think its the 1204b part thats important.

Cheers, appreciate the help!

The BMW colour is Estoril Blue (as on M3s) like mine. Eclipse Blue is slightly lighter.

sorry this is late, i crosschecked tvr records with an old ici book and a colour chip and the colour appears to be renault azur blue code 466. the 1204b code applies to ici paint only and can be bought through brown brothers who are nationwide . but you should be able to get some from any paint distributor using the renault name and code. any probs please email me

So I ordered some Eclipse blue from Auto-paint, St Helens (as per a previous thread). Not bad. A little too dark so I have mixed in a little aluminium silver (spray) to "lighten" it a bit...now matches quite well
Also tried Halfords mixed 466 Renault blue...close but no cigar...slightly too greeny-blue and also too dark.

Anyway, thanks for the help...I can start spotting in all those annoying chips
