You mean the colour of the car? It'll be on the VIN plate, check my colour chart for a match.

If you mean the grey stuff, thats vinyl. There's a thread on here somewhere discussing a suitable paint match for colour....

Hurricane Grey looks toss IMO. Too shiny, esp in a large area like the whole bottom 1/2 of the car.

I'd be tempted to use this;

[edit] new item no

Thanks for the comments,was thinking that about the hurricane grey alright craig,is there a 2k hurricane grey you can get that gives a flat non shiny appearance,iv also heard of people spraying on a light coat of stone chip and spraying over it to give the vinyl look,anyone ever tried that bumper spray?

use huricane grey but once painted dont flat and polish it, just keep the paint as it is, I did my SR with it and it looked as good as the original
