Paint Code
I had a little bump last week and went to order some paint but apparently I'm not giving a correct paint code. Looking at the service notes the paint code on the VIN plate is nothing like anything listed. Below is a picture, what am I missing????

Re: Paint Code
I could be wrong, but I think Vulcan Grey has a paint code of A67. (Hopefully an adult will be along in a minute who knows for sure!

I've been buying from auto-paint.co.uk and it is a good match.

Re: Paint Code
I was expecting to see A67 some place on the VIN plate not IAMB. Is something missing from the VIN plate?

Re: Paint Code
I think yours has been replaced. Mine is metal and has the details stamped in. It is riveted to the body by the four rivets that i can see around your plate. It gives the paint code as A67. They could of course gave changed the style if vin plate??

Re: Paint Code
Having just searched other forums, the later type of vin plates were laminated like yours, so it should be original.
