Hi guys,

 

My zed is currently on a transporter on its way from Japan, and I've got hold of a UK spec rear bumper so I can have a neat foglight setup. Only thing is the bumper has a few scratches and I'd like to get it resprayed ready for fitting, but I don't know the paint code. The car is a 96 model chassis number GCZ32 560854. Is it possible to decode the paint from that? Failing that hoe many shades of black were in use in 96?

 

I realise there are lots of threads on this but a lot of the links no longer work so I appreciate any light you can shed.

 

Thanks

 

Chris

Thanks Gary that's great. I knew I could rely on the forum!

Look forward to some pics Chris when you get your import Z :)

I'd say you're better off waiting until the car arrives and giving the bumper and the car to them to colour match. Chances are that spraying a fresh colour from the code and offering it straight up to 18 year old paint will cause a mismatch. Also, the bodyshop can tidy up any other remedial paintwork required whilst it's there.

Either way, good luck with your new purchase and make sure you share the pictures :)

Good point JP that would be a better path to follow.

Good advice guys, there are a couple of minor scrapes I could get done at the same time. And don't worry when she finally arrives I'll be posting plenty of photos!
