Runtman Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sorry guys this may sound really stupid, but I can't find the correct answer anywhere. What colour is my car? Here is a picture, I want some paint so I can paint the door handles and the inside interior and the base of the gear stick. I need the same colour I have at the moment, but can't find what type of colour it actually is, here is some pictures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture003Medium.jpg In light it has a hint of purple, if anyone knows the exact colour, It would be really appreciated! Thanks, sorry for these stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 better picture and vin plate code required for definate answer. by the picture it looks pacific blue but saying it has a purple tinge suggests aubergine..... pointless guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 How would I find the "vin plate code"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 its located on the crossmember directly above the radiator (small silver plate). Evo has a Vin Plate decoding link at the top of this page you can input your number into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is this the plate, which one is the code I need? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/03032010665.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 That looks nothing like mine? Mine actually says "Autmn Green" - Yes... with that spelling mistake aswell im sure (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Weird, and it decoded to this. The VIN SFAAXXBBAASM66994 breaks down as Manufacturer Identifier Ford Motor Company Ltd (England) Body type 5 Door Hatchback Line Ford Great Britain (Own Assembly) Assembly Plant Halewood (UK) Model Escort/Orion Year 1995 (some codes are used for more than one year) Month November Production Sequence 56994 Which has no colour... Real confused now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Look in your fuel filler flap for a paint code or name. MY brother had his first escort in this colour, why is auralis blue popping up in my head? Its like state blue but cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemrst Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 State blue bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just thinking, if yu want paint why dont you get a paint shop tp just match it to your car? a rattle can of it will only be a few quid, more than enough to do 4 handles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvangough Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yea mine came up similar. My old mk6 had a plate that said "Pepper Red" on it. My current Mk3 just the vin plate. Although the paint colour code that i need is 7A4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 peoepl on this forum cant even work out the colur u fuking belends lol People like you can't spell for shite! Don't take state blue as gospel as that pic is crap and there is another colour that is almost identical to state blue. As said just go to a paint supplier (not Halfords) and they'll match it for you and fill up a rattle can of the exact shade you need (Some colours had more than one shade due to updates over the years, like diamond white has been altered at least 13 times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
