what colours your paint?

Post by Darkstar » Thu Jun 10, 2010 9:57 am

whilst trying to find out what colours are on the bongo, to me its gunmetal over silver, i found out it is coded as "indigo blue metallic over silver" panic set in, no way is my bongo blue.

anyway, spent a hour on the interweb searching and found these links which may help someone:

whilst it is American, it will work out you code for you,

And:

some colour pallets for 626 but it shows my "indigo blue" paint colour,
