Title: 164 Paint Codes
Post by: V AR 164 on May 30, 2015, 12:03:44 PM
Hi everyone,

Want to fix some paint peeling off the bottom grey panels of the car. Does anyone know what code this grey is? Been looking all morning and cannot find anything online or around the car.

Thanks Andrew.

Go to a Panel Beating Paint supply and have them match the paint to suit your paint, as the 164 is quite old now, the paint would have faded in the Australian sun, and any new paint would be the correct color for a new car, but not one thats faded.
You need different paint for plastic than for steel panels, as it has to be flexiable and you need a different undercoat, Colin.

Thanks Shane,
I'm not to fussed about the colour match being perfect as the car isn't in perfect condition, just can't stand looking at that bumper anymore.

Thanks, Andrew.
