Sup guys, I just need some help identifying this color and the color code if possible. I want to repaint it as close to this color as possible and I don't think its oem. Here you go.



Thanks.

 

anyone?

 

grey

 

Lol, yeah i guess, kinda, but what kind of grey. I have seen some other hatches with the same color .

 

looks like sage green metallic off the 05 rsx

 

haha just playin...the thing with paint is you can get like a base color at a paint place and have them brighten it up or darken it, add metallic or pearl or make it thinner or lighter or flat...you can have a color that absolutely no one else has...its the beauty of paint...

side note: body work on that hatch looks like ****!

 

Yeah i know, im working on it, the bumper was **** and the side skirts need to be painted black and mounted properly, its a work in progress.

 

my bad i didnt know it was your ride...how do you not know ur own color code for your car?

 

I baught it with that color and never thaught about it. Lol. Yeah but now after the suspension and motor im doing the body work.

 

oh ok...where in texas you live?

 

Spring, its about 3 hrs from san antonio.

 

damn...never heard of that town...the body doesnt look too bad...but you can tell...just needs work on looking flush...

 

Yeah, in that pic the bumper was held on with only 2 screws and the side skirts were zip tied on and a couple clips. I fixed most of it now though, just needs some paint and its good to go.

 

most any paint and body supply can scan the color and give you an exact match. There's a gun-like tool that tells em' the exact paint makeup. I use it when I get a car with a "custom" color, that no one bothered to document. This is a low ball, did you check the paint code sticker in the drivers door jamb?

 

Yup, it was originally black. I guess ill have the body shop match it then.

 

most body shops wouldn't have the color scanner, It's pricey. A reputable paint suppler, would. A good painter could match it up by eye using test sprays. That wouldn't be an exact match, you would have to "blend" the base color with the existing paint. If you do go to a body shop, a "chip book" from Dupont might help you find a stock color. If that fails ask your body guy if his "paint rep." could bring the color scan gun to the shop to match the paint for you. Then you would have the formula to have the paint mixed when you need it. Dont go to Macco!!!

 

Yeah macco is crap. I was gonna take it to a guy i now who works at a body shop, he quoted me 800 for a good job, thats excluding my cf hood trunk and wing and not doing the door jams.
