Paint Colour code

(1/3) > >>

u01atc8:
So i had a guy paint my splitter that i bought from shaun a while back.

(does anyone know what splitter that was? As i need a nother potentially :S)

So anyway this guy painted it for me and well i think its now orange. So does anyone know the paint code for the red stripe around my grill?

Failing this.. anyone know of the best way/methode or paint to use to get this looking the way it should be in the same or very simillar red?

I would really appreciate help with this.. as i have the car going up on a car show stand and a chance of a magazine feature coming! So want to get this looking spot on!

Cheers

Andy

Dont know if this will be any good but i stole this from the guys across the pond, they are US colours but im guessing they will be the same

GTI:
LA7T - United Gray
LA7W - Reflex Silver
LB9A - Candy White
LC9Z - Black Magic Pearl
LY3D - Tornado Red

JPC:
THe Tornado red would be perfect for the red band.

i dont know if there painted like that from the factory (doubt it) but it will be near as dam it! ;)

u01atc8:
Thanks guys!

Does anyone have any tips for painting this.. as im now going to do it myself! What a mupet the guy now seems! Surely he should ave got the rite stuff from the dealer!

So i was thinking sand down the splitter and the prime it.. let it dry.. one paint coat.. let it dry.. another paint coat.. Let it dry..

And finally clear lacquer it...

Sound about right?

JPC:
have you painted something before?

Ive painted quite a lot in my time, and achieved very good results, but i would be wary of painting a splitter myself. i honest wouldnt, but i guess this place would be boring if we're all the same.


What i would do is find another decent bodyshop to do the work
