Just had my bongo returned from Chassis Clean and I have to say they did a terrific job. There are now just one or two places over the wheel arches where I need to prepare and re-paint/spray. Can anybody tell me how I go about finding a match with my current colour?
As ever thanks to those who take the time to reply. I appreciate it.
Thankyou.

Re: Finding the correct colour
Your paint code is on a plate on the door pillar when you open passenger side door - there's a fact sheet in the Member's Area - see http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... /paint.pdf .
Bongo Fury shop sells the paint kits.

Re: Finding the correct colour
Most paint specialist will mix paint to the correct match, some can also fill an aerosol for you, try the yellow pages if you still have one. I think some branches of Halfords also provide this service You may find that the original colour isn't such a good match if your paint has faded at all.

Fairly sure mine is on the drivers side John . . .
Is yours one of those mythical LHD ones . . .
EDIT: I stand corrected after reading the factsheet.

Re: Finding the correct colour
Glad to hear that - I too was very pleased with Chassis Clean. Excellent bunch to deal with and the quality of the work was 1st class.mickjagger wrote:Just had my bongo returned from Chassis Clean and I have to say they did a terrific job.

Even so I've recently flooded some Kurust followed by engine oil in the hope this will wick right into the seam between inner and outer wing as I noticed the waxoil spray doesnt get right in there.
Also, after 3+ years, I have a little bit of flaking Dinitrol in the wheel arches. Chassis Clean recommend a check up after 3 years and I must book mine in for that. Should cost peanuts as its only in the most exposed and easy to access areas that the protection has got tired.
