conveniently this is a colour halfords dont do, only tins with the lion chevron on them.

That explains why I had so much trouble trying to find some there this weekend! Mine's "Rhodes Blue" too, I went to try and read the paint code under the bonnet but it's been half rubbed off

According to service box:

Code: Select all

PAINT TYPE 	METALLIC PAINTWORK
BODY COLOUR 	PAINT RHODES BLUE
INTERIOR TRIM TYPE 	JACOMO VELVET "EZ"
UPHOLSTERY COLOUR 	"FC" 

My D8 interior is cream cloth but manual, but it needs a bit of a clean. I might give it a clean and send you a pic for the Wiki if you want?

Cream cloth D8? Perfect, would love to get a photo of that for the Wiki. And you have the name, too - "Jacomo" - cool; again, that's something I only have for the Coupes so far.

Is Jacomo not a clothes catalogue for the larger gentleman?

Haha, every time I see it I think of Johnny Vegas prattling on about that, but technically, the catalogue is "Jacamo"

[CalamityJames]

do you need one of a cream interior?
its definatley rhodes blue as the paint cans i ordered say rhodes blue on them, conveniently this is a colour halfords dont do, only tins with the lion chevron on them.

How much did your paint cost and do you have a part number? I need to respray the mirror shell that I had to replace (it's currently some metallic green!)

Cheers,

China Blue has a purple fleck in it - as seen in direct sunlight!

Did they ever come in yellow, as a factory order?

i think £15 for the 150ml can of the paint and the 150ml can of lacquer off some seller on ebay, you need to ask him for the paint, give him the vin and he will sort out the paint, his listing was down for the touch up kit but he had the paints

I actually just ordered it from my local dealer, when I gave him the part number he had to double check against the reg number as he said no one has ever ordered that colour from them or anyone in their group, ever!

It cost me £9.19 for the base coat and lacquer, not too bad!

For reference, the part number is: 9860 E4

i think everyone who sells car paint says the same thing about every colour.

colour chipping is the way ithink,
paint fades /lightens with age so sometimes best to get paint made up.
they need a peice of the car tho to get a correct match
