PLEASE NOTE

This is the original thread of my paint colour post, as created by me (Razorjack). You'll find this list spread across the internet - a quick google has found a number of sites and forums that have copied it directly from the posts below (most of which didn't ask first, some of which have passed off as their own work - bit disheartening when it took so long to complete!). However, not all of these sites are up to date, accurate, or include the full information. As this is the only place that I have posted this list, its the only place that I can update it - so bear that in mind if you've found a similar list on another site.

Feel free to link through from other forums, or if you want to copy it please credit me and/or drop me an email/PM to let me know. This isn't just to massage my ego (Ok, well it is a little bit lol), but means I can keep track of where its copied and alert people as and when updates are applied. Thanks.



Opel/Vauxhall Colour Chart (1991-2001)

I've just finished collating ten years worth of color charts (by "charts" think "lists" - they don't have colour samples on so don't ask!!) for Opel/Vauxhall - this may come in handy for people deciding on a colour, or needing to know exactly what paint to get for a respray/touch up.

The list in the following post displays the Opel Code / Vauxhall Code : Paint Name (Years in Charts). If there is more than one code, I've separated it with a comma. Some names are in German but I've tried to use the English ones wherever possible, and bear in mind it seems some paints were renamed at times (e.g. Flame Red = Magma Red). The date tagged on the end merely shows what year charts the paint is on to give a rough indication as to what year the paints were used (although don't take this as gospel, its probably not particularly accurate).

Location of VIN plates, with paint codes on them:

This example shows Opel Code 489 / Vauxhall Code 68L = Champagne Metallic; which was most likely used from 1996 onwards.

Would you mind if I copied the list and use it on another forum?
You will take all the credit for your hard work.

Jack
06-06-06, 08:13 PM
Sure, no worries.

Lew, its from some old colour charts I acquired from a bodyshop friend.

Doherty, it doesn't list *all* colours, just ones in the charts for the years I had available. Whats the Opel/Vauxhall colour code for Satin Red? If you provide it I'll add it, or I may already have it with the Opel name.

Letmelive, many manufacturers have colours with the same name. IIRC you can get Metros or something like that in Mexico Red; its probably different to the Opel Mexico Red, its just they happened to choose the same name.

Mike.

Thats the paint code for my loon dude, and its an 89 ;)
Im assuming the (91-00) is the years it was used?

:p

This post will be getting a rehash soon as I have discovered a better source for colour codes. I'll be rewriting it and more than likely hosting it on my WIP site, so will ditch this content and redirect to my site on this thread instead.

Although this thread has been copied all across the web (some legitimately, most not) so if you still need this particular list it'll be easy to find.

Just had another look at thie the 475 mustard yellow. it says year 91-93 but my SR has the code on the plate and mines 89?

Jack
17-08-12, 07:06 PM
The date tagged on the end merely shows what year charts the paint is on to give a rough indication as to what year the paints were used (although don't take this as gospel, its probably not particularly accurate).

Hi , i have just found this thread and woundred if you could help me find paint code for my white 1994 midi van , i found the plate next to pasenger seat but which no is it ??? the first number top left is 81L but acording to yr chart that is Nova black the botom left is 10U which makes more sence as that code is white :-) could you possably confirm which is correct code and couler ,, many thanks Mike .

Jack
18-04-13, 08:03 AM
Assuming its not been repainted, its probably 10U. Most vans are white so I would guess that's more likely to be correct lol
