color code

[michael_antoi]

looking to spray some parts of my car...

where can i find the color code?

and how do i get paint in that color code?

how would it come? in a spray version?

[bennjamin]

on the inside of your drivers or passenger's door is a colour code sticker - on the body of the car.
You can buy little touch up paint thingies from Honda - but afaik you cannot buy them in can-form. Best to get a professional to colour match it and spray the part/s for u

oh ok, would a place like bunnings do a color match?

if they do how much is that?

[jdmcivic]

autobarn do it for about $25

you can call a honda dealer and they will supply you your colour only small enough for touch ups though...

[michael_antoi]

what form does autobarn supply it in?

take off ur fuel cap door and places will be able to match it to that colour.. well dats what my fren who is a panelbeater told me take off fuel door and take to a paint supplier and theyll match it 4 u

Also depends on how old your paintwork is. Even if you get the factory colour code, the paint not come up exactly the same due to ageing.

Best bet is to use your fuel cover as mentioned above to match the colour properly.

paint code can also be on the i.d plate on your firewall.
autobarn can supply it as a tin for touch ups or compressed into an aerosole

Nope, mate mine is a panel beater

[michael_antoi]

i'm gona give the DIY a go.

use plastic garbage bags to mask off the door while ur spraying...theres not enough newspaper in the world to do a proper job of masking... trust me, use garbage bags, seal with layers of masking tape and STRETCH the garbage bag TIGHT

DO NOT actually take the black mouldings off cos they NEVER fit back in...

lastly get the finest sandpaper u got and LIGHTLY buff the surface of the mouldings before u start

i used a4 pages to mask them with masking tape, but i did mine black again LOLLL

d moulds yeah shold b cheap but get a pro to do it bcoz if u doit urself d color could b off
