Paint Code...

[GoldZilla]

Hey guys and girls,

as mentioned in the thread title, where do I find the paint and trim codes for my car? I looked on the Jap compliance plates, but couldn't really make out if any of the info there is supposed to represent these...

Thanks in advance.

[Sl!m]

Yes, if anyone could help find this I would also appreciate it

got a pic of the JAP VIN plate on the firewall?

[AlexCim]

Give me your VIN, ill FAST it up for you.

either that or a copy of the japanese plate - it is pretty easy to tell...

[beastien]

Yep, should be on the jap plate, i think all colour codes are two letters and a number eg: KR4

And the interior colour will be either Z or J.

Found it, thanks guys - posted it in the NSW Whore thread for Sl!m's benefit, as he likes the colour.

It's Dark Green DR2, with Z trim.

beastien, is the J trim the leather pack?

Colour DR2

Trim Z

Got my mate at Protec paints to knock me up some for my Silky White pearl stagea - got enough for a spray for half a car, in case of a crash. LOL

I have interior trim code Z and i have leather, so it mustn't be.

Any idea where I could get a small amout of bayside blue? I still haven't done my left hand mirror... (I've got a 'new' one but it is the wrong color..).

I have trim code Z also, will know in a couple few weeks if that means leather for me... I didn't think it was though...

Take the car to a crash repair place and get a quote from them; pretty easy for them to knock up a small amount for you and spray the mirror.

I cant help myself, sorry; my friend has since left Protec, thats why he said he'd knock up some for me (on the side of course) when he did, going back to when I bought the car mid-last year.

I had a look at the Nissan archives page that mike40sydney posted up, and Z trim does apply to the leather pack too.

I think the J trim must be a lower level one for X- and G-spec Stageas, and the RS models and above all have Z-spec trim.

Might be easy, but they are giving me quotes of $300 (I don't think they want to do jobs that small...)...

bejesus!

thats a bit rich.

i think the Z trim relates to the door and roof trim, the leather is a different feature

[beastien]

Sorry Goldzilla, didn't see your question tucked under that huge pic

I think the trim colour code relates to the door and roof trim as Terminal has stated, and also the dash and carpet colour.

There's two codes, Z and J. I know from mine that Z is black dash, console, door skins, grey roof and rear trim, dark grey carpet.

I think J is lighter colours, someone who has this trim would be able to describe it.

The only other differences would be the seats and the fill on the doors, which is dependant on model or options (eg, leather).

Quite right

Heres some pics of colours and paint codes and a chart with the trim combos for series 2 if anyone has the paint code for series 1 dark blue let me know and I will add it in.
