Colour Code

Also, Halfords wont do your colour ready mixed, you will have to ask them to mix it for you!!

Or go to the dealers, £10-£15 and I think it comes with lacquer too!!

To be honest your car looks Star Silver III to me, same as mine, if it is the code will be
2AU/157, but double check first!!

I've just been on a mission to find 2HU Black Sapphire pearlescent, GM don't sell it they try to palm you off with 20R mica, which is a shade blacker and has smaller particles in it. I did eventually find an auto spray shop which had the 2HU, and sold it in a spray can, I sprayed both on a piece of clear acylic plastic and there was quite a noticable difference when viewed from the reverse side in the sun.The two codes are for the same colour with a different recipe for the ingredients

This was done with halfords vx Black saphire paint. I was very impressed. It's a perfect match, cant see where I've sprayed it at all.

www.paints4u.co.uk are brilliant, I have just used them for the paint to re-spray my Sri bumper and VXR insert.

They have an online paint database so you can pick the right colour for your car!!
