Re: paint - 4WayDiablo - 20-03-2012
Under the bonnet above the pass side sus strut
Sometimes in the door shut
Or post a photo and we shall tell you

absolutely shameless self promotion: 306 paint codes directory
As said if you still can't figure it out (Nile and China can look very similar depending on the condition of the paint/light etc) check the passenger side strut top.

Re: paint - Toby - 21-03-2012
IIRC I used to think my old 306 was China blue, but it turned out to be Miami blue.. Could be the same for you?

The Bastards!!!! The Venetian one is my Pic!!!!!!
Paint code is normally on the pass side suspension strut top as Phill says.

IIRC there are 2 china blues, one metallic and one pearlecent like the diablo red I may be totally wrong though
Paint code might well be on the VIN plate but I can't remember and haven't had a chance to check!

Re: paint - mark_airey - 21-03-2012
There are many many greens, sherwood is much more likely than Pinewood too

Re: paint - brettw1 - 21-03-2012
lol what? :S dont b confuddalin me now mine is a phase 2 think it has phase 3 front bumper tho :\ god knows why lol
Re: paint - Scott - 21-03-2012
China is a phase 2 and 3 colour. The dturbo S was a phase 2 car and came in china blue, though the china blue used for phase 2s is different to the china used on phase 3s
Re: paint - mark_airey - 21-03-2012
Was the ph2 not the metallic and ph3 pearl?
Your best bet is to go to an auto paint suppliers and get them to match it though most will mix cans for less than halfords charge for the pre-mixed stuff too
Re: paint - brettw1 - 21-03-2012
