Fantastic site except it's way off the mark. My metallic rhodes blue car (MOMP) isn't listed and completely misses the naming scheme they have come up with.
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Fantastic but useless? I'm sure the paint code on my D8 ends in E, which kind of falls off this thing too. I'd bet they'd be sc4ratching their heads if you asked a Pug as well.
