Title: Re: Paint codes/colour
Post by: Kenny_1.6 on 11 February 2009, 12:26
close, its a 99. code on little info sheet looks alot more like a U than a V but Blue Anthracite does sound about right.... car usually looks grey but in sunlight can change to a bluey-greeny shade of grey... every picture i take of the car, it looks a different colour  :grin:

Title: Re: Paint codes/colour
Post by: Dannygood on 11 September 2010, 13:42
where exactly do you find the paint code ?
is it on the car somwhere?
Title: Re: Paint codes/colour
Post by: Thom89 on 11 September 2010, 14:05
Paint code is in 2 places, in the boot on the rear panel or boot floor, your looking for a white paper sticker, or you should find the duplicate sticker stuck inside the cover of your service history booklet, if you have it... your looking for a 4 digit code beginning with "L"

 My black magic is not the same as others I have seen. Mine has blue/silver flecks in the paint and Ive seen one or two with gold or just silver flecks. Do these have different codes or is it down to ongoing spec/changes
Title: Re: Paint codes/colour
Post by: bulk66 on 02 January 2011, 16:17
If i was you mate id ask the person what there paint code is. As far as i know a paint code is issued and then there will be no change to the colour mix if there is then its given a new code if you get what im saying.

hi there

just been looking through the paint colours and mine seems to be missing, i am very aware it is a rare colour as i have never seen it before anywhere, and believe it was only on as an additional extra between 1990 and 1991 approx 18 months.....oh and it is metallic

Love the colour looks black, but shines a green/blue in the sunlight.....

Anyway the paintcode is LP5T.... sure it is Swarzh Black or Blue or something??? any help would be appreciated, it would be nice to know the colour of my car for certain :embarassed: :embarassed:

Thanks

Walchy

Title: Re: Paint codes/colour
Post by: bulk66 on 30 May 2011, 21:23
Well your LC9Z s going to be a better bet coz it will be nice n shiney with a bit of sparkle from the pearl but your Satin black will be dull.
