mtrehy Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 take the car or a panel (boot lid) to a decent car paint supplier to get it matched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 A good bodyshop should have a Spectrum analyser that will match it exactly, I use a local one to me and you would be surprised what comes up as a direct match. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CP26309 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 As a retired Sign writer (as in real paint not vinyl) of vehicles (and owner of a paint code 19 TR) I can assure you that all paint colours fade and are a black art to match! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
