Paint Codes

Scotty · Post by **Scotty** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 1:22 pm

According to the plate on my Bongo my paint code is 17R - I've looked it up in the fact sheet section and its listed as :

17R 12K + 4Z (Twilight Blue over Silent Silver)

Its also listed as :

17R 12N + 4Z (Indigo Blue over Silent Silver)

Any ideas how I establish what blue I have on my Bongo (Twilight Blue or Indigo Blue)?

Thanks

Had the same problem Scotty. Took a chance and ordered 12N Blue touch up paint from Auto Paint St Helens and prayed it matched. It did.
As Ive only got a small pot you're welcome to a dab of it to check if it matches your Bongo.
Mines an SGL3 first registered in Japan in April 1997.

PM me with your address and I'll drop you a dash of 12N.

I also had the same problem with my green Bongo. Took it to my local paintshop who had swatches of every colour imaginable and they matched it very quicky for me.
