I want to colour code some parts on my 97, shouldn't be too hard you'd think...
I ordered up some paint (64c met. green) from my local Halfords, a light coat looks fine but a couple of layers later and it's just too dark, way too dark. Took it back and got some more mixed but it's wrong too :confused: Now I've got some on order from Holts (Halfords paint makers) to see if that's any different. I'm wondering if the Halfords computer has got it down wrong, anyone had a correct colour match on 64c? |
Neno,
there is two shades of 64c,i went to halfords and got the one you might have, went back and found out there is another shade which is lighter. i have the code for it, i'll post later it might help. cheers greg |
:cool: thanks Greg :D I don't suppose you know the code for the wrong one too by any chance?
|
That's strange cos I've had 64c from two different branches of halfords and it's a good match for the rest of the car? To be honest I've only done the front lip spoiler and not a door or anything where the difference would be obvious.
Steve :D |
I have 64C can from Dunstable Halfords - the match was total crap on my MY99 - it was way too dark. T |
Neno
here is the code 687178 the other code could be 687168 but not to sure . this might help. cheers greg |
Brilliant, thanks Greg.
I'll get in there this week and see what the score is... |
Just thought I'd give you an update on this...
I got Holts to make up a can, a little test and it looked exactly the same, so Halfords refunded me for the original two cans I bought. They were reluctant to refund though as they have introduced a policy that they can't refund a mixed can. Back to square one. Anyone know anywhere else to try? ;) |
Oh forgot to add that the code is simply for a can of spray not the colour - or so I was told. :(
