paint code 12D

[Windstille]

Hi all

First time post here despite using the forums plenty a time so far..

I'm struggling to find paint for my ford freda 1995, the paint code is 12D which doesn't match up to anything on the factsheet.

The van is a dark blue or purple colour with a silver bottom. Any ideas where I can go. I've tried ringing lkq coatings but they couldn't find it in their database.

The van looks just like this - https://www.goo-net-exchange.com/catalo ... A/3500685/



Cheers,

Welcome aboard!
Can't locate a 12D for anything Mazda and I must admit not a colour I can recall seeing on an early vehicle, I 'm guessing a rare option perhaps from the factory? I guess you have double checked the number ?

Hi Geoff

Thanks for checking, definitly says 12D on the plate - does the G3J mean anything else? There's also a barcode sticker next to the plate with various other info on that might help perhaps?
Will try to get a good picture of the actual van paint later today.

I asked a painter friend, he suggested that it might be Twilight blue ,also suggested you visit a paint store with a sample of the color.
