Paint question

tintin · 15th May 2021, 10:45

Hello out there,

I've got a trophy blue Zt, does anyone know the exact spec/colour? I need to purchase a rattle can for some minor repairs?
Also a good place to buy a can?

Cheers

You will need a laquer as well as TB out of a can tends to dry in a satin finish .

Not sure if I've misunderstood your thread but you can get your exact paint code by opening the front passenger door and looking at the plate on the B post. I think the code should have three letters.

If you want a perfect match then take the car to a paint shop and have them scan the colour on the car. It will take into account any fade the paint may have and adjust the paint mix accordingly to match up the rest of the car.
What ever you do, do NOT use Halfords as their mixing is some what lacking in care and accuracy.
