Paint code query

[Edd]

On my 1989 1.3 sr the paint code is e261.

Can anyone confirm what colour this is as i have looked at a few charts and they are listed differently ?


Thanks in advance Edd.

Helios Blue ?

i dont think so mate.

i think its Haze blue metallic, but not sure

[vaughanmc]

261/21: Haze Blue Met (91-93)

[Edd]

261/21: Haze Blue Met (91-93)

does the (91-93) reffer to the year tho as mine is 1989 ?

[vaughanmc]

Hmm possibly does mate - Just copied that from the net

Could be different variations of that paint code and that 261/21 might be another variation

Check what it says on the body coloured VIN plate on the slam panel as well

Should be 2 numbers then L (10L - Glacier White)

[Edd]

21L is on the coloured vin plate.

which according to Duicks thread abut vin plates is Cosmos blue.

So which one do i go by ? 261 or 21L ?

If anyone has a original sales brochure could they look this up for me ?

[vaughanmc]

261/21L will be your Haze Blue

Check out the Cosmo Blue paintcode it will have a different 3 numbers and maybe the same 21L at the end

You mean from my paint code list :p

If you read the blurb at the top it explains the numbers.

261/21: Haze Blue Met (91-93)

261 is the Opel/GM code, 21 is the Vauxhall code. 91-93 is years that the paint appears on the charts I was using for reference, but doesn't necessarily indicate what year it was used on vehicles.
