Where to find the Paint Code - Saxperience

Hope this helps people

Obviously the code shown is not exactly going to be for your car unless its the same as mine and thats icelandic grey

So heres were the code is also its on your strut top in the engine bay but my strut brace is covering it

The 4 letters are your colour code

Normally they will just ask for 3 letters so take the 1st 3 letters, so in my case it would be EYL

this will help alot of the newbies out if they search for it

mattchewone · 10th June 2007, 17:13

Excuse the wing damage and spare wheel. My other alloy is buckled hence the spare wheel any one know where alloys can be unbuckled, surely it can be done somewhere.

Predator_R32^p · 10th June 2007, 17:24

you can sometimes get them sorted out but tbh id just get a new set of alloys mate

as for the colour looks like posi blue to me

mattchewone · 10th June 2007, 17:25

i did use the search function but i thought halfords had a reputation for not doing a good job on paint matches. thats what i read in all the threads i found from the search. but i'll give halfords a go.

I have a Mk1 Saxo Pred... My sticker isn't there but instead its on the edge of the door showing tyre pressures.

Would it be in the boot on the metal stamped plate maybe?

Sorry to bring up a old topic, I'm really intrested to know what colour mine is.

Paul^p · 1st December 2008, 21:15

Dannyboy it will tell you your colour 'name' on your logbook.

Then you can do a search for the code using the name.

If that makes sense... lulz.

dannyboy2005 · 1st December 2008, 21:15

Log Book? V5 Document?

Just says 'Red'
