Those links dont really help...lol

I'll go and have a look bud

YUP...Its 732

 

the G on the end is for the interior colour trim

It's very unlikely that the colour will still match exactly, yours will have faded over the years. For a perfect match you'll have ot get someone to mix it up for you. When the front of mine was done they had the correct colour code, with about 20 shades and even then it was adapted slightly. Perfect match though.

Excellent thanks :D

That was a concern, unfortunatly matching not possible as I cant get car to anywhere to do it, or even get to car to remove any parts (like nose panel) at the moment.

 

Does black fade like lighter colours does ?

I think all colours fade, although some are worse than others.

my kitcken appliance colour is ok

I shouldnt laugh really as my viper wings are only sprayed in Halfords spray paint at the mo :hurl: :rofl:

take your petrol cap plate off, and take that to a paint supplier, he can match it up mate

im sure the black paint code is S.H.I.T

There goes the Pink Brigade again :rolleyes:

Got paint yesterday (Nissan 732), spray tested it. It contains fine silver metallic flakes and is slightly aubergine under strong light.

 

The rest of my bodywork contains Blue, green, silver metallic flakes and is a Darker black.

 

:headvswal

 

oh well, taking Petrol filler cap in today to get correct match. :smash:

HHmmm.....

Dont know what your car is painted in then....

as mine contains fine silver metallic flakes and is just black :confused:

Prehaps fading has caused it to loose that "slightly aubergine under strong light look" ....

But I doubt fading would cause the blue&green flakes...

Any signs of a respray?
