Styling I need Punto color code, no sticker can be found

[aronf]

Hi, I need to paint my punto, its already prepperd.. I cant find any color code in the bonnet or the trunk..
Its a blue sporting 2002 with the abarth kit, not sure if its original on him or not.

this is the car. I really need help with this, I dont have the garage to finish this for much longer.. the only thing I need to finish this is the color.

open the bonnet and its on the left hand side of the underside of the bonnet, basically its above your head on the left

Thank you for the answer but I have checked everywhere.. note that the car is prepped for paint and almost all of the front has been taken off, there is no place for a sticker to hide from me as it is now, So.. I need to find the code elsewhere.

As i said its on the sticker on the underside of the bonnet its not printed anywhere else so it sounds like you've removed it.

speak to your paint supplier who will be able to identify the colour and create a match, this colout fades so you'll probably find it won't match if you go strictly by the colour code

Not necessarily, mine has the colour on a silver sticker on the front cross member. Open bonnet, it might be by your right hand

if you give vin number to fiat dealer parts department they will tell you the colour.

looks like Blu Sprint
Blue Sprint (462) but there may also be a batch/shade code

Iagree with whats been mentioned above.

colour fades with age/heat from sun /cold etc,

colour chip is the best way of getting a good match,

If you can wait till Monday when I'm back in work I'll find out for you? Information like this is hard to find as it's confidential and paint company's don't like the internet to have much access to their products. Other than that you need to either find someone with the same colour car or take it yo a body shop and ask them!

Thank you all for some answers, I cant wait until monday Punto Sutty thanks anyways. There are no stickers anywhere reagrding the code, must have been removed by previous owner. Sprint blue looks closest to the color though.
And there is no Fiat dealer in Iceland so I cant really ask them for any help, but there is a workshop that is taking over the fiat dealer I hear.
What I can do now is just hope this sprint blue is the one but just in case I will take the lid for the gas off and bring it along to the paint shop.

But I was under the impression that the "sporting" types only came in a few colors so I didn't expect to have much to choose from.

No problem mate, chances are that the bonnet is second hand on the car and was a different colour prior to being fitted to yours hence the colour code sticker being removed as it is now irrelevant

Just because its a sporting - doesn't limit colour

Who ever built the car to order asked for the sporting setup with X colour

So Sportings can be anything from Andy's lovely red, to my punto bold yellow

To a Ice white

A colour is just a colour

The code can be indented in the bonnet itself. Mine was on my old MK2.
I'll try to find a picture later if I can.

I believe this is a colour code, but don't take me for certain. I'm no painter
