    Default dam paint codes

    just purchased some 163 z paint ( silver lightning )

    proceeded to paint my side skirt to finally get it back on the car

    what a shock ...... it doesnt match , the skirt paint is too dark

    phoned a friend in the paint business and it seems that there are approx 22 different shades for silver lightning

    looks like ill have to get it matched at a paint suppliers now

    Hi - sorry to hear the trouble.

    Your paint code is on the plate by drivers door - usually at the bottom LHS.

    I know Vx are fairly cheap for touch up paints (about £5) - not sure about larger quantities.

    Good luck

    Twice that price if it needs laquer as well.

    Just looked thru the thread and there is only silver lighting, as you said 163z. Are you sure its not a star silver as there are a few different shades depending on year of your model.
