fauxae Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 How do I find out the colour code for my 7? It's a 2007 50th Anniversary Edition in Metallic Black. I have a new OSF cycle wing in GRP black that will need painting to match the rest of the car. The previous one was damaged by a kamikaze pheasant.

David Brown Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Interested if you find it as my CSR 50th Anniversary is also metallic black. Speaking to TSK who did the painting is probably the answer but I've never tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Give Tony, Mr TSK a call on 01732-750256, he should remember as he would have painted the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 In reality, unless your car is brand new, the paint colour changes over time due to exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors so an exact colour code paint will probably not match up. Most reputable paintshops should have sample booklets that allow you to place a sample page alongside your car to get the best match. It can however be difficult because a lot of the shades are very similar. Metallic black should not be a problem, black is black ... as Los Bravos said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David aka Blue7 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 To follow up to that ... note these guys feel that although black is black ... they really feel it should be a far superior colour ... BLUE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
