Epic paint code fail!

[Dangerous_dave]

Went into halfords with what i thought was the paintcode...had paint mixed up, brought it home and tested on a a broken jack.
Bought it to rattle can a spoiler for my mini van project! van isnt worth spending money on having a sprayer do it if you know what i mean!

Turns out its the complete wrong colour... was practically grey when it should be a dark blue! just aswell i didnt spray it straight on the spoiler...




So... any ways

What colour name and or code is this blue?

Is it metallic or solid?

 

[Dangerous_dave]

not 100% sure but think its solid...

 

[Needster]

Are you talking Renault paint codes here... If so, which colour were you hoping to get?!

Click the link, Rebecca. f**k, I'm an idiot.

Does it not have a label on the inner door like the cars have!?

 

[Bluebeard]

The name is Pacific Blue. (I'm not 100% on the code though, sorry)

 

[Bluebeard]

Dan, I aren't sure pacific blue is a real colour? Can't find any information/paint codes on it.

 

[The Boosh!]

Found it.

Pacific Blue: 460

 

[Bluebeard]

So i'm right..... ?

 

[The Boosh!]

If by right you mean Bald, over worked wife hater then yeh. You are extremely right

 

[Bluebeard]

BOOM!

 

[JayA]

ye it is pacific blue and i think 460 is the paint code (i rattle canned a spoiler last year) got fairly good results with it for what it cost.

 

[Peperami]

I think its pacific blue and the code is 460

 

[Dangerous_dave]

cool thanks guys & girls (needsta!) so turns out i was right and Halfords were spazzas who cannot mix paint to save their life!

any one recommend a paint mixery company that i can order online or something?

Cheers all !

Auto Paint have always be great for me. Get the colour perfect (Unlike Halfords which gave me a midnight blue instead of royal blue)

(Linked you straight to the product as their website is pretty sucky)

 

[Dangerous_dave]

quite a bit cheaper than halfrauds too then! they want £11.99 for a 300ml can

Auto paint £6.99 for a 400ml can!

 

[Dangerous_dave]

just ordered some 460 an also some mondial for the cup (as a spare)

 

[BRUN]

you should NEVER go off the name of a paint, always go off the CODE

 

[Dangerous_dave]

you should NEVER go off the name of a paint, always go off the CODE

i did use the code too, thanks for pointing that out though.


460 royal blue
D43 (or whatever it was) Mondial blue.


cheers

Its 432. It just came to me as I was making a brew.

Thats for monaco holmes.

Just for reference, there are two different 432's...

Mk1 RSi/Williams 432 is nothing like a Mk2 432 Monaco Blue
