Mazda Silver Colours

Post by apole » Fri May 29, 2009 1:31 pm

Hi,

According to the fact sheet on there my colour is chaste white over highlight silver. Recently had some silver made up and after spraying found it to be too dark and too grey by comparison.

Does anyone know if any of the other Mazda silver colours are a more silver colour and lighter?

Thanks

Aha, you've got Highlight Silver, and without checking, I think the code is 18G, you can check it on the factsheets. Our Bongo has the wrong paint code stamped on it, I know you're going to think that's dodgy, believe me, it isn't, it was only when I got the paint matching the codes and started spraying the grille that I noticed it was the wrong silver. If you used the combined code from the plate, it's probably wrong, try 18G.

Great thanks guys, I already tried 18G highlight silver so hopefully it's the other colour.

Thanks again.

Mine is silver too, chaste white on the top, and silver on the bottom.
But, it isn't Mazda silver at all, dunno what it is :?

My bodyshop guy doesn't know either :shock:

Ah just found it, neat green over silent silver, never even noticed the door info before, how daft is that eh.( that is a rhetorical question, I am not inviting hundreds of replies, lol.)
