colour...

[samass]

will pug know what colour my car is if i phone them with my vin? or is that a bit too much to ask?

[mark_airey]

They should be able to tell you from the VIN or the registration number I would think

No harm in asking IMO

consider age and sun damage = _____

tbf, i was walking to uni and saw a 306 parked up, phase 1, was kind of grey/blue didn't have a clue what colour it was.

from a distance thought it was astor, then miami, then not a clue... :think:

[Chris]

Steel blue in that case ginge, serch for doby tray on .net he used to have one.

Sam give me the number from your vin and I'll pop on service box and grab the colour for it.

[Chris]

Also sherwood was a ph3 only colour.
No chance on a ph2 with the trim on the boot, pbs may be possiable though.

[mark_airey]

It just doesn't look like Venetian in some of the pics but in others it does!

Are you sure sherwood is ph3 only? as I am certain that Diggers car is sherwood and thats a Ph2 XUD!

Edit:- Best pic I could find of it.........(shamelessly stolen from the EA meet thread )



And another from FCS '09 parked with mine



Edit of the Edit - Thinking about it I think diggers is another colour again (evergreen possibly??) so I am going to guess at Venetian

[samass]

Had a look on service box already, all.it says is metallic, unless theres more detail available on a subscription bit? Pmd anyway Chris, ta
Ill get another couple of pics in the sun anyway, cant resist the chance to pic whore

[Chris]

Diggers is non metalic, so deffo not sherwood.
When I put my vin in it gives the colour code and the name iirc.

There's a couple, think they show it pretty well

[mark_airey]

^^ That's Venetian I will say from that!

Chris - I know, read the edit of the edit at the bottom of my last post

[Chris]

Fairs mark.
Gotta be venetian as its more yellowy than sherwood which is darker.

What did service box say?

[Chris]

Not looked yet as I'm on my phone not the pc

[samass]

were you able to check SB Chris? i had a look on my access and i cant seem to see it...

[Chris]

Had a look last night, just says metalic paint for me too.

[samass]

i thought that might be the case
there are like paint supplier sections, but they are subscription only info, sod paying pug money just to officially find my paint code!
ill give them a call tomorrow, if they dont know, then ill leave it till i need to paint it then get it colour matched. bosh.

[mark_airey]

Bet its Venetian Green, how many times

[Dan!]

Bit late to the party, but Diggers is Nordic green FYI. 8-)

[samass]

just to throw another spanner in, eh Dan

[Dan!]

Yep

[mark_airey]

just to throw another spanner in, eh Dan

Nah we have proved that isn't it, we just now know the name of the colour that its not

[samass]

ah yes, true, one or two down, 7.5 million to go...

[mark_airey]

Its Venetian Green, there weren't many greens used on the 306 and with yours being a ph 2 that narrows it down even more..............

[samass]

i thought that venetian was slightly different, and mine was more sherwood or pinewood? unless im getting totally confused with names....

I will paint over something the next time i'm spraying and post you it so you can compare if you like?

It looks even more Venetian in the latest pics that are in your project thread!

[samass]

ahh yes please mate, that'd be most helpful!

fair nuff, mind you, there is a pretty thick layer of dust on it in those pics, needs a wash haha
