General Silver/grey 1990 paint code - help

[aquamarine]

Does anyone have the paint code for a silver ("grey") 1990/91 4X4 please? I need to paint replacement doors and helpfully can't find the usual paint code sticker in the boot or anywhere.

If my attempt to post a photo has worked, it's the car in the background (only photo I could find of it). Thanks

Can't help on the code but the sticker should be on the reverse of the tailgate. Seems like you've already looked there though.

Cheers - tried there and everywhere else I could think of - it's as if someone's removed it just to make things harder!

There's a couple of silvers on here so your answer shouldn't be too elusive. Just gotta sit back and wait.

Getting hold of non water based paint is becomming quite hard these days so may take a bit of tracking down.

Thanks Alan. Managed to get some spray cans a month or two back from a local Autopaint, mixed up for our Turquoise CLX, so am hoping I can get some there if I can get the right code. David

David,
richard brown or Stu from the NIIMC have silver 4x4 pandas and they may be able to help.

I've a tin of Gringo 683.f
(not sure if the F is part of the code or just something to do with the tin)

Do you reckon that's the right code? Seems like it could be - cross checked on the net (www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au) and it's listed as a 1987 on colour "medium grey". If anyone with a similar car can confirm the code then I'll get some mixed up. Thanks again.

That's the colour of that tin there on juppy...

Spot on!! That's the one, it just hasn't got the rusty brown patches that mine does! Will be able to get the paint done today and get started. Hope you're able to get a ferry at some point. Cheers!

Dont be so sure juppy is grigo 683 f i remember that from when i had him sprayed but the paint code on my current 4x4 is totaly different yet the cars are near identical both 4x4, both have identical trim and both have twin sunroof's except f894 is a year newer.

Looks about right - will let you know when it's on the new doors. Fingers crossed!
