Is the colour code not on the VIN plate?

Other option is to go to Halfords, as I understand they do a colour match.

Cheers

You sure? Usually one of the letters in the code refers to colour.

Just looking at my handbook. Few years older, but think it will be the same.

Number isnt in the VIN code itself, that identifies manufacturer, model range, wheelbase, body type, engine, trans, model name, and location of manufacture.

On the plate with the VIN. there should also be a small box, bottom lh corner, with a paint code number in it.

My 300 tdi defender has the plate with the vin. Has a section for colour. That section has no stamps / has been left blank.

Halfords say they need colour code to match colour.

Dunno if this might help at all. Just a thought. but after all those years in the sun the colour may not be just like new mixed anyway.
