door blade/bumper plastics colour code????

[tanjaz]

Hi does anyone have the correct colour code for the satin finish on the door blades and front rear bumper grilles/plastic?

Thanks jaz

i'm guessing they don't have a colour code,. as they are just molded plastic.

They are plastic but they get painted as they come primed from the factory. I can mix it and get it close or might change colour of them but if i can get exact would be better. want to paint them at the weekend that was all.

cheers jaz

Good luck with this - I was never able to find out from my local stealer. Their explanation was that the colour fades over time, so if you sprayed it the colour 'as new' it wouldn't match the existing blade on that side of the car.

As you say, they are supplied primed, but they do need a spray of some description. I've just lived with mine scuffed for the last 5 years.

Never found out I have since wrapped the grey plastics in carbon vinyl.

Hi Jaz,

The colour code is L7DL. I've got the various mixing quantities aswell if you have any troubles at the panel shop.
Strongly recommend getting the B pillars done in gloss black while your there too.

Cheers,
Patrick.
