Is that the colour of your car? If it is it will be on the ID tag. Otherwise I can check it out as i work for a PPG distributor. Also you could call PPG customer service on 132424 with the year make and model and they'll be able to help.

They're not all straightforward, but there's so many codes to remember not just paint... e.g. off the top of my head..

18435YM in W5 with B8 trim and 5B thread with Options 4J, 53, 54, 74, 81, 2B, 6S and Tyres 66 is a Ba Mk II XR6 Turbo 6-speed Manual in Shockwave with Charcoal Sports Leather, Blue stitching, 18" Alloy wheels, Premium sound, Luxury Interior Pack, sunroof and Towpack. You learn them all from memory through dealing with them every day, like looking at the Matrix really, all another way of writing stuff!!

Out of interest, Machine Silver is actually S3.

You'd hope your local Chinese Restaurant waitress knew what a number 54, 34, 33 and 67 were if you ordered from her menu as much as you hope I know what options 47 and 66 are on a Territory! Only difference is our products don't come with free Prawn crackers or Special Fried Rice with purchases over $25.
