what paint code are my Sacco panels?

[mccrackenj]

Hi all

I'll want to do a few bits of minor touching up on the Sacco panels when the weather improves. The car is a 1992 blue/black W124 230te. I know I can get the paint code for the main bodywork off the panel in the engine bay, but what about the grey Sacco panels?

I haven't been very reliable lately, but I think it is 7700 Alto Grey. The finish is satin, not gloss.

This is the table showing all combinations:

I can't figure out how to post a table properly.

Excellent Johnathan, thanks.

The blue/black is code 199 so that makes sense.


Finish hopefully won't matter too much as I'm only going to be touching up very small areas, most of which are more or less out of sight anyway.

Astral silver is code 735 according to this: http://www.landiss.com/paintcodes.htm

735 astral silver (astralsilber)* (bundt style wheels)
740 pastel grey (pastellgrau)
744 brilliant silver (brillantsilber)* (claimed to be close to new wheels)
745 crystal silver*
760 quartz silver (quarzsilber)*
761 polar silver*


If so, then according to table above it would be 7177 stratus grey. (Not to be confused with status grey, that's an Audi colour)
