Paint Colour Code on Skylines?

[Spiderman]

I have recently bought some paint to paint the front bumper as it was badly scrathed and chiped, being a white car I just bought nissan white paint and it matched fine.

The problem is at work a friend owns a skyline which is a dark Gun Metal grey colour and we cant find the Paint Colour code in the engine bay?

Does anyone know where you can find the colour code for the paint in skylines? It must be somewhere , otherwise how do panel beaters match up the excact colour.

I know that in Australian model cars , the colour code is always printed, but these japanses imports i don't have a clue.

It's usually on the manufacturers plate under the hood. Should be represented by three charachters, being two numbers and a letter.

An example of whats usually found on the same plate would be -

.................Nissan Motor Co LTD Japan

............................E-HCR43

Chassis No: HCR32-016693

Model: RCR32GASM AA

Colour code: KG1 G 130

Engine: RB20DET 1998 cc

Transmission / Axle : RE4R01A RC43

Few examples -

AN0 - Burgandy

KH2 - Gunmetal

Hope this helps

And don't forget BN6!

[Mr Miagi]

Can anyone tell me the paint code for the LM Spec R33 GTR (sometimes called Nismo Blue)

[DLuded]

i have a prelude and when you open the drivers side door the paint code is there

so the paint code isnt neccessarily in the engine bay for all cars

[JiMb0]

... But we are in reference to Skylines here Dlude as the topic and forum name suggests

BN6 is the Blue color code for the R33 Skyline, I think however the electric/bayside blue (caymen) color for the R34 Skyline is TV2.

Some other colors for the R34 include -

KV2 - Silver

WV2 - Pewtar

GV1 - Black

QM1 - White

QX1 - Pearl White (3 layered pearl)

EV1 - Yellow

AR2 - Red

LC2 - Midnight Purple 11 (only 300 or so made)

I wouldn't even bother with the codes. From my experience, I've found that you get a much better result with colour matching as overtime the paint fades.

[JiMb0]

True that .... Wheres the best place to get the match taken from ? Fuel flap ?

[UNREAL]

I've always used the fuel flap, so that I can still drive it until the painted part is ready. Vision Smash repairs in Artarmon and West Ryde Smash repairs do good colour matching.

[JiMb0]

Wouldn't happen to have their numbers handy would you Unreal ? I'm looking to get a few quotes for sandback and respray of a few items of my body kit ...

[UNREAL]

West Ryde Smash 98083033

Vision 9436 1299

Hi there ppl..

I'm relatively a new member of this great online forum.

I'm looking to buy a S2 R33 96 model upwards hopefully within the next few weeks.. and I've been looking for quite a while now. I have seen a few cars being sold privately and both of them had been blatently clocked back... one car I saw had a re-spray and I couldnt work out what was the exact paint code on it.

Could anyone please let me know what are the R33 paint codes to look out for on the blue plates.

Any other advice in purchasing a skyline would be greatly apreciated.. as I'm trying to get as much stock as possible and would most probally go through a dealer.

Cheers

Taj
