P422~0160B body code
Discussion
Looking to buy touch up paint for our green car and we cannot be certain of the colour.
The handbook says Aston Martin green.
The VIN plate says P422~0160B.
We want to get the correct shade of green so what colour is our car and where can we find it? Not sure if Euro car parts or Halfords will stock this.
Also, which of the lacquer is the best that is NOT in an aerosol can?
Many thanks in advance!!

I’ve had similar difficulties in getting a match, even with the TVR paint code.
In reality, I found that you’re better off taking the car to a specialist who has a spectrometer, who will mix up an exact match for you.
After all, getting a match based on the paint code is unlikely to match what’s on the car, given that it’ll be at least 20+ years old (if not subject to more recent resprays).

Just be a tad wary even with a spectrometer deployed.
I went to get some maroon paint mixed for my X Trail last summer.
It matched to a Lada colour apparently, but in reality it was two shades darker due to fade from 15 years sunshine.
The human eye is a wonderful thing.....annoyingly.
