I thought it was reflex purple but having seen others on RG website and others for sale I'm not so sure?




Thanks

Thanks Valhalla! They look similar in the pics but mine sure looks a more definitive purple/flip to green to me. It may just be the camera? I'm looking to order some paint from international colours but want to make sure I'm ordering the right stuff with it being so expensive!!!

Is the code not on the VIN plate? The colour is the entry next to 'Body Code'

Usually in the handbook as well.

I'm going to check my VIN plate in the boot late as I've been speaking to international colours about it too. To me it looks very different to the others...mmm

Does anyone know where the paint code is engraved/stamped? I have a body code on the boot plaque saying "DH990" is this the paint code? What do you guys with reflex purple have on yours? Thanks.

That comes up in a list I have supplied by Malcolm Ashworth from Surface and Design as Cascade Indigo from PPG.

It looks identical to mine, and mine is reflex green.. It flips between green purple and blue.
My money is on that colour.

Thanks Ian, you're right it does look exactly like yours! Do you know what your body code is? Our cars look identical!

I'm confused too! S&D think reflex purple too, my car was originally cascade indigo and must've had a full body respray. I want to get my roof panel resprayed so trying to find out what colour it is. Thanks for all your replies.
