[Mk2] [NA] Steel mist grey paint for damage

Post by Bear87 »

Hi guys so with my never ending run of bad luck someone hit my rear bumper and has damaged the paint all the way through to the plastic of the bumper. Their note must of blown off of my windscreen......

So this is for my 91 rev 1 glimited. I know the paint code is 187 but is there variations of this? I understand the paint is 27 years old and it will never match but has anyone had any success with online supplier or halfords etc?

Also if anyone has a really good condition bumper in steel mist grey (import square plate style) I may be intrested as the world's biggest fog light is cut into mine.

Thanks
Mullen

I found some on ebay. It came in two cans that you apply one over the other and in fairness it's a pretty good match.

It doesn't have to be perfect as the car is far from paint wise but I would like it respectable.

I did have a look on fleabay but the only one i could find was called blueish grey argentum mica?? Still states paint code 187??
The ebay number is 332488230582

If anyone has the time to have a quick look it would be much appreciated :pray:
