What colour beige is my van?

Post by Pullafacial »

Hi, I'm looking for an aerosol to match the colour of my van for a couple of scans I want to repair.
Anyone know what this colour is called and where I can get a can from?

Thanks

No a car paint supplier. They mix it for you. They should have all the codes on their system. Remember though, the shade will be darker as the paint on your van will have faded. Provided that you are having the lot re-sprayed that then that won't be a problem.

If the paint on your van has faded most motor factors[ well my local one anyway] that mix their own cans will be able to match your colour with the aid of their own colour chart.Paint shades on a card with a circular hole in the middle and they hold it up against your van to get a perfect match. :ok
