Paint code for color coding accurate?

[Willy]

Got some time off work today so going to phone a few bodyshops for some color coding quotations. My clio is a 2002 model (Black). Just wanted some opinions if the code I supply the bodyshop (Sticker inside the door) would be accurate, or will the paint have faded a fair amount over these years to notice a difference?

Cheers :approve:

it wouldn't have faded much but depends on how dirty you let it get, whether you wax it, and whether you are near the coast.
if you can notice a difference then all you have to do is give the car a good polish or maybe a pc if the difference is huge but i doubt it

on a 2002 car the paint will be fine, especially on a black. they polish up nice 99% of the time

My 2001 blue was fine when they coloured the spoiler, still cant tell the diff.
