Hi All,
Does anyone know where the paint code is for the inside bodyshell colour is as its not the same colour as the outside as in the outside is aquamarine but the inside is not metallic.
If you want to match it up, just about any car paint retail specialist will run out with a set of swatches (etc.) and mix you up however much you want, put it in an aerosol, etc.
If it's Aqua Pearl I feel your pain! It took me about 4 years to find a code and I can tell you it's not listed in any auto books, nor is it the same as the general top coat. What I found was a RAL code, it was based on non-mainstream auto paint chips but widely available as an industrial finish e.g 2k. I just checked through my boxes as thought I had a spare tin but I don't but I can tell you to save time go to a local industrial counter and look through RAL chips. You may have to buy an activator and thinner though but it was the only close colour match I found in years of looking through automotive ones, it'll just be a bit more glossy than the satin finish from the factory but I tell you it matched.
Yea I'm kicking myself I never wrote the code down since. I tried Toyota and allsorts to find out but it's not ever been a recorded colour which maybe makes me think now it may have varied through production. But if you look through the RAL chips under non-metallics you may still find a very close match.
