White over silver paint codes

Post by Tony x » Sat Mar 24, 2018 5:48 pm

Hello,
We have a year 2000 diesel Bongo in the same colours as the one in the link below:-

https://www.sgs-engineering.com/gsc1639 ... roof-strut

The paint code on the inside of the passenger door says A2U
It took a little while to find what two colours this paint code refers too (which I thought a little odd as that colour scheme is very common) but I found out what I needed, that the silver paint I'm after is 18G, also known as Highlight silver.
However, in my searching I found that the colour code on the passenger door is frequently wrong.
Can anyone tell me if 18G or Highlight silver is the correct silver for the Bongo pictured in the link?
I'm planning to do the rear arches as soon as the weather permits.
Cheers
Tony

It is hard to tell from the photo. Ours is white over silver as per my avatar picture.

Our code in the passenger door is A2T. Ours is a 1999.

The paint I have recently bought for a couple of touch up jobs is:

18G silver highlight
Chaste white


I'm hoping they are correct but got them from a good bongo source so they should be.

Not sure if that helps you at all!?

Hi.
That does help. Highlight silver is what I'll go for.
