anybody help with the colour of my car?

[L33 LEG]

bought a nova the other week and i obviously need to find out the paintcode to spray my bumpers and bonnet. i will go to a bodyshop to help match the colour cos apparantly they easily can do, but in the meantime was wondering if any of you recognised the colour?

i doubt anybody will know for sure, but its worth a try :)

by the way, i know its not a standard nova colour. but wondered if it was another vaux colour.

[stb114]

looks like ceramic blue or polar sea blue could be wrong tho

[L33 LEG]

think the original colour was a really dark blue, cos the insides of the doors and boot is, but it def has a black tint to it now and looks to be a totally different colour

[L33 LEG]

finally got a pic to show you that it is a black colour, and not blue. im really needing to know as im wanting to spray some bumpers. i know you cant tell me for definate what itl be, but would be good to know if you think its a vauxhall colour or not?

Why not ask the guy that you bought it off..

Or check the documents.

[L33 LEG]

he doesnt know as the guy before him was the one who sprayed it.

will i be able to take a panel into any bodyshop and theyl match the colour up? and will they be likely to charge me Lol just for telling me which it is?

[NovaLad]

Hmm... TBH your best bet is to ask the owner before you for the owner before him contact details.

And then you can be sure what colour it is and not have someone f(_)ck ya nova up by giving you the wrong paint.

[L33 LEG]

itl be near impossible to get in touch with that owner tho so that really isnt an option. il be spraying the bumpers myself so if i am given the wrong code it wont be too much of a problem. all i want to do really is be able to go down halfords Lol and just buy the correct spray, but obviously before this im going to need to know what it is :(

what are the different blacks vauxhall did? maybe i could google the diffferent colours and see if theres a black that looks the same.

[NovaLad]

lol get some go faster stickers well ya there

Im sure Halfords now have a colour matching/analysing service.

take the wing mirror to bcn mate they will match the colour for you

or any other small panel:thumb:

[L33 LEG]

thats the problem ray, the wing mirrors were m3 ones and seem to be silk violet, along with the front bumper. the rear bumper was a crappy kitted one and doesnt seem to be the same colour. was going to take the spoiler but that is a deep gloss black. i would take the old bonnet but id be embarrassed carrying a nova bonnet with a gti-r vent in it lol :(

il probs just snap the vent off and take that in...

wheres bcn?

You can't tell a colour from a photo, especially one thats been taken under artificial lighting.

Take the car round to a bodyshop, or halfrauds, and ask them to mix and match some paint for you.

As said before just take a small panel to any motorfactors that sell paint and theyll be able to mix some for you.
