I'm trying to repair some paint-scratches on an '83 Civic Hatchback and I need to find out exactly what the colour is (some form of ID code or name) and where I might be able to order it from.

Its a greyish blue colour, and AFAIK its the original/matching the original paint. What colours did the '83 civics come in?

 

is the color avignon blue metallic?

here is a list from http://www.paintscratch.com:

avignon blue metallic, arctic silver metallic, blackburn metallic, victoria red, paisley red metallic, osio ivory, and savoy brown metallic

i'm not 100% sure thosre are the right colors, but paintscratch is usually pretty reliable.

hope it helps!
