p111ddy Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would like to find out how i can get match of the colour of my supe as i don't know the paint code and i dont even know if its still the original red from factory? Is there anywhere i can take it to find out and buy the paint? Advice and help gratefully accepted:) thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I think its on the inside of the door or maybe the metal plate under the bonnet not sure. Not sure if mine is original colour either but have a look in my garage see if its same as yours and i will check the paint code on mine tonight (if i can find it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couv3z Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 This might sound harsh but if can scrap a little paint off door frame or from some unseen corner, some B and Q have a machine which can detect the colour and auto mix it for you. BUT PLEASE check at B and Q before scratching your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Any decent paint supplier should be able to match the colour almost exactly. I've been over an hour getting 1/2 ltr of 2K due to the guy matching the paint by eye letting samples dry a little to darken before seeing whats needed to get it spot on.

JamieP Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Id say yours is the stock 3L2 but either way as others have said any decent bodyshop will be able to colour match it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Looks like 3L2 to me too but it will be 13 years old remember.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
