Paint codes

[kencos77]

I have a 1997 Bongo which needs some paint repairs on the rear wheel arches.

It has a blue top half and a silver bottom half.

The english version of VIN sticker on the inside of the door says the colour code is SC2. Unfortunately I can't find any reference to this code on any forum.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

I've been wondering about paint codes myself actually and whether it's possible to just pop into the likes of Halfords and ask them to mix something for you.

Great stuff, thanks!

Geoff,

I have seen that list but as far as I could see there is no SC2 code.

I can only assume that the VIN sticker is wrong

Where exactly - picture ? - are you getting the SC2 code from ?

Geoff,

I have now sussed it.

The SC2 is the internal colour code. The external is 17R - indigo blue above with ghost silver below.

Thanks for your help

Ha Ha!

Another mistake by me - the colour below is of course Silent Silver and not ghost silver!

I did wonder I checked my new code and saw the internal code for mine was SD2 and wondered, my external is 22V which is the Ghost Silver.

What do they mean by "internal" colour? The actual vehicle interior seats and trim etc?

Yes its the internal colour scheme, rather than just a colour, at least that's they way I interpret it, but never seen a list like the external paint codes.
