Body parts re paint

[markus_74]

Dear, Zoner

I plan to repaint my car, but because my budget is not enough for painting the whole car body, so I will paint it part by part.

My question :

It is better to match the color with another car body part that has still original? or use the spies hecker paint code?

Does any body here has color code for E30 green? 1991 (may be achatgrunmetalic)

Thanks
Markus

save up and paint the whole car when you can afford it or worse case paint bonnet + front wings - then boot and rear bumper - then roof - then doors sides.

if you look on the suspension turret you will find the car colour just below that should be a set of numbers, post those numbers and we can tell you the paint code. take that to any paint suppiers (i used Toyota paint to spray mine last time).

and finally if possible buy enough paint to complete the whole car, even if you just spray bit by bit. Ask the suppliers/painters they will know how much to get. If you can afford it get Glasurit scratch resistant clear coat, its very good in the heat

just seen your other post, the paint code is 205 any supplier will make the colour, you need to specify that yours is metallic

Yes, Mr.Lee

thanks for the advice, I just take the pictures today, I have call spies hecker shop here and give him the formula that I found from spies hecker website, after waiting him mix the paint formula the result was very good if not perfect (new and fresh malachite green paint).

I will save the rest of the paint and will use it next when I will repaint the other body parts, but because I have in the point of no return, I can't cancel the project or waiting until my money enough, I will continue if the result was good.
