Post Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:30 pm

Could any 1 tell me the paint colour code for a dimond black 88 325i sport??

it will be under the bonnet, probably on a yellow sticker on the strut. silver is 244/7 I think, so look for a number like that and it will say diamantschwarz metallic I believe

Ã‚£11 is pretty good! Do you need special lacquer too or will any do?
