paint codes

[rowhard]

Did a quick search, know it's here but need to get out the door. Anyone have the paint code for the white used on the iron man. Need to get some paint asap, but my paint guy doesn't work the weekends, thanks.

Not sure why Astral isn't in that chart... :confused:

I need to get some touch up paint for my VX. Do you guys think a paint shop could mix a small can? Or would calling Merlin be a better idea?

Probably specific for one year. I wonder if the codes changed over time.

I had just that done and the painter didn't charge anything for about 250ml, but he did comment that a full Foxfire repaint would be very spendy.

Astral Silver Met.

Isuzu opt code 718.... Paint code N605-P901-0

You can look up paint codes and look at color chip charts here

Oh man, I had 6 OEM bottles Ebony for sale back in February.
Mark Hardeman and JoFotoz each bought 3, maybe they want to sell a bottle? just throwin' it out there...

No problem Bart, I get pints mixed all the time.

Bart, like Sue said, I just got three bottles of touch up paint from her and I am NOT going to use them all (just wanted them on hand for a rainy day). If you want one shoot me your address and I'll get it out to you.

once a paint code... always a paint code...;)

True but the difference after ten years of fade is pretty substantial.

unless the sun has actually started to delaminate the clearcoat to the point of peeling/flaking, a quick buff/polish will bring that color right back.... ;)

I beg to differ. Paint pigments change over time due to a variety of effects including ultraviolet light, chemical reactions, degradation of pigments. Only some of these are mitigated by a clear coat. Getting paint to match and match over time is very difficult.

x 2...:yes:

When I had mine in the shop for some repairs, the Boss man at the body shop showed me the chip samples within the same paint code, that compensated for years of exposure to the elements (there were 30 or more)...needless to say, I was impressed with the level of care my Suzy was getting, & there is NO way I could have ever seen the difference between some of those shades of astral...:_thinking

But he could...:thumbup:

At that point I realized why the name of the place is..."Fargo's Finest Auto Body"

The specific table posted was probably for a specific year.

Wow, all I wanted was the paint code so I could paint some skid plates. Sure hope I don't have to worry about fading and matching colors:_confused

That's the beauty of the skids being up against the cladding :thumbup:...imho paint variances won't matter since both front and rear are pretty "far" from the body paint.

Hmmm, inspired by what I've read today, I'm thinking of painting the center of my hood (you know the spot) this weekend. Any thoughts???
