I'm trying to order some touch up paint. I was under the impression it was cobalt blue (porsche colour) but some googling shows a different colour to my car.
The service book says P147 and the info under the bonnet says P420.
This is a picture of the actual car, anybody got any idea what it actually is?

Just found this
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=44...
4th line down has a link and looks a lot like mine. Maybe it is cobalt blue?

Also found
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
where it states "P422-8RG3B is the ici code, p147 is the manufactures code." Can anybody coroborate this?

Also found in another thread "p420 - 8870 - cobalt blue, ici code 8RG3B, i am not sure who,s colour it is though.

rm paint code for this colour is R2842." these codes don't make much sense to me, can anybody clarify?

I'd seen that the main issue was the two codes on the car and in the book didn't match and I was always told that my car was a porsche colour but googling Cobalt blue Porsche show different a different colour again. I'll order based on P147 and take it from there.
