Paint code

[nas3a]

Hi chaps & chapesses.

I've got a 75 in light sky blue. I need to repair a few scuff marks on the bumpers etc. When I go to the likes of Halfords to get the paint, they don't seem to do my colour, although there does seem to be numerous cars of the same colour about. Can anyone tell me where I'd find the paint code.

Open Passenger Side Door. There will be a plate mounted at the bottom of the pillar. It will have a section at the bottom right that says 'PAINT' a 3 letter code will then follow e.g. JEL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I shall have a look. Will I be able to get the paint from say Halfords using that paint code?
I should have looked on the forum I guess, there's a whole thread on it ! ! !

That reminds me of a trip I had to halfords about 6 months ago before I new that the paint code was on the door pillar...

Me: Hi, your TV advert suggests that you can find what colour paint I need by my reg number. Is that possible with my Rover 75?

Halford Numpty: No, you need to tell us the paint code.

Me: Do you happen to know where I could find that out from?

HN: From the manufacturer.

Me: Are you serious?

HN: Yes...
