General CLX paint info needed

[PandaMark]

I'm hoping to put a pair of doors onto Bobby soon, but I've no idea what shade of blue he is - there's no sticker in the boot! I've tried the forum search and read all about everyone else's green / white / red cars, but no blue ones!
He's a K-reg CLX, in a kind of dark metallic blue.

..................................................Any ideas anyone? Ta

Just had a quick look at a press release for the CLX that I have, the 'blue' colours are listed as :

Lord Blue
Dark blue met.

Thats all I can find, no paint codes though.

It may be worth trying to find out at a paint supplies, all colours of every vehicle are on a microfishe (similar to dulux's scheme, but for cars) I used to use one in a body shop to mix the paints, its basically a giant ingredients book for every paint colour. Might be worth a shot, all you'll need to identify is the make model and year, and it should show the available colours that were being used when the car was manufactured.

Sorry this is long winded - does anyone on here work at a spray shop or paint suppliers??

I've had spray cans of Fiat paint made up before by a specialist paint place in Ipswich.

Can't remember how much but I was surprised how cheap it was.

I work in a motor factros and we can mix paints, but we have to have the code or a rough idea of it to be able to mix the paint. I think the system we use only has what manufacturer each paint is from not what models it was used on. This is probably different with other systems and paint manufacturers. Wouldnt a paint supplier or body shop be able to match the colour without a code?

Probably. TBH, it doesn't have to be an exact match. I just thought it would be easier to find if I had the shade name / code.

Thanks everyone

Isn't there a paint id code on each car? Seem to remember the Uno had one on the tailgate

I asked someone on ebay who has got a similar colour car and they said it's
412a

Shame there isn't a delete button on the forum where you could get rid of irrelevant or off topic posts :bang:

Does anyone know if a list of colours/names etc was ever put together by Fiat? I'd like to think there would be as something as some of the Pandas are "unique" colours

that's the Tacchini blue, same as mine, although from the pics mine looks a shade darker. Hard to tell.

 

[CLXCraig]

The selecta on ebay looks very similar colour too. could be worth sending him a message asking.

Bare in mine yours will have faded slightly over the years, so the new one might look darker.

 

[purple haze]

I think a msg was sent to get that paint number.....the selecta and clx look like the sergio blue....i know that my paint on P/haze has faded so its prob best to get a paint shop to match it allowing for the fade.....Either way that blue has to be my fav colour on a Panda..
