    Most folk use upol mid grey when painting bumpers, see Edds thread ( last few pages ) or Iain's sport aswell

    Plastics were only ever given the colour grey or blue/grey

    As far as I know there is no paint codes for plastics, as they werent painted.

    The plastic on the foglights seems to have been near sunlight and has perrished the colour, they should be the grey colour of you plough

    As Bazil mentioned though its the plastic and not a paint.

    EDIT: Here's Brettski's thread btw of his old Opel GT... you can see how he fitted his foglights CLICKY

    If you get a GM one peice bumper or a pattern one it will be the same shade as the plough and surrounds, but good luck finding a new one, pattern ones are avallible from german ebay, or find a excellent second hand GM one, I waited 2 years to find a new GM one

    I only painted mine with Upol mid grey because I wanted all the exterior plastics to match, bumpers, gutter trims, sill stripes etc etc

    I know that but they will have been on a shelf for 25 years some where, even room lights will have altered the colour from original I'd of thought.
