Paint code

[mrpbailey]

Am i correct in saying the official colour of my 3R is 'Monza Red'? Also, does the car have a paint code printed anywhere, or does anybody know it as I can't seem to find one!

Thanks

If you ring Mandy at the factory - [phone], give her your VIN and she will get back to you with the separate codes (more than one) for the individual paint mix (I think they are PPG codes similar to GTO3.com) and the paint code for instance my azure blue was CHRSPE or similar - which equates to Viper blue but there are several variants.

If you are in need of a repair and spray that involves any paint matching to the original colour on the car.........good luck!

There at least three of us opting for the full respray! I'm not as brave as the other two though they (Alex and Dean)(Excuse me if I've missed anybody) have gone/are going 'different colour to original'!

I'm guessing a few of you have had trouble with colour-matching then?? Bugger Ah well, will give it a go, see how the guy gets on.
Rang the factory today and the lady said she would get back to me but didn't so will ring again in the morning.

Thanks for the advice

Email the factory, they were superb with me. They sent me the exact paint codes for my car.

The problem with some of the Noble colours, is that the paint contains both metallic and pearl, I had 3 companies try to match my paint, from the codes supplied from the factory..
I gave up in the end and bit the bullet and had the car painted a different flat colour.
If your colour is a noble specific colour it will be harder to match.
