Check the manual, it should be on the inside of the front cover on a small sticker, that's the case with mk 2's anyhow, porbably the same with mk 3's.

always got my paint from halfords never had a problem yet,

 

[LFCJosh]

theyre paint matching skills are shocking.
i found out the hard way yesterday.

just been to a paint specialist and they got it spot on first time.
£20 for 1/2 litre.

halfords is a tenner for a shitty aerosol can.

depends what your painting.

[Clio1.6vvt]

yea a think thats where mines is, dont know what code it is lol

 

[BRUN]

its usually got TE in front of it, its on the left, IIRC third line down, on the top left you will have something like E1, E2, E3 etc, it will be under that but maybe another line down

here is a pic

is it the TED75?

 

[JCC]

Yes it is. The code will be D75, you just chop off the first 2 letters. For example on my car it says NV632, my colour code is 632.

so if i want some paint made up all i need is D75?

 

[JCC]

Yes, I work in a bodyshop and to get that colour I'd have to type D75 into the computer

some colours come in more than one shade though.
my colour is in 4 different shades.

if its a car paint specialist they should have a little flick book thing with all the colours in and you can find the exact shade, hold up to your car like and match it.

where bouts are you?
i went to 'romarts paint specialist' for mine. cant fault em.
i think its a chain compant so they might have a branch near you.
