Wtf. that does looklike RB to me but maybe a shade out F**k knows.

when did it have it's new paint?

 

[jamievt]

from the previous owner info he said hed bought it in that shade and the owner before him had also bought it in this colour since im 4th owner im guessing the original owner had given it the respray and along the line the name of the actual colour has been lost...

Deffo not RB.

Im pretty sure I saw an advert a while back that said it was Ford Mexico Blue? Looks similar.

Thats had a full respray. I doubt anybody could tell you what the actual colour is, unless is was the guy that owned it.

If its not RB, then someone tried to match as close as they could instead of finding out the code.

my thoughts exactly looks couple shades off people have said ford mexico blue, porsche mexico blue

Really ? Do you really need to go that far with the comment of it just being 'awful' ? Theres a few on this site that put pathetic little comments on like that its the same when it comes to someone doing something 'different' and they get abused for it and when people stay oem they say 'its just too plain' theres no happy f**king medium !

Now obviously this lad didnt mean for it to be a couple of shades away and because of that its 'awful' ? well in my opinion its a couple of shades out but still resembles the same finish and if its going to bother him so much he'll do something about it ..Rant over
