Hey guys,
Went to sprint auto (adelaide auto parts store) today, got myself some new brake discs! putting them on tomorrow. YAY!
Anyway,
The guy couldnt find my paint code "CV" in his catalogue, I have since been online... and I have found the paint code "HCV" for a diamante wagon? (mine being a magna wagon, ofc) Is this the same?
The site says the colour is Vermont Silver Met, and I know my car is silver... so I am thinking these would have to be at least similar...
Just looking for your opinion?
Any recommended retailers for colour coded paints??
Cheers

Mitsubishi Motors Aust Limited (Customer assistance) PH: 1300 131 211 I rang them with my VIN, and codes for options, paint, interior and they were really helpful it's the cost of a local call unless from a mobile and they will be able to tell you what the paint code stands for. Hope this helps. Oh BTW with my car (Stratos grey - Very Dark, almost black in some light) you have to go to an auto paint shop that can mix the paint and put it into a spray can as my 2/94 magna paint code is unavailable in touch up cans apparently and it only cost me I think $21 for a large can off the top of my head.

Cheers mate.
Found out the paint is Mirage Silver, CV, with another code of 6352 (the end of the body code)... now I just need to find somewhere to mix it!

nothing came up in our books or pc, sorry mate, best bet is to head to auto barn and get some mixed up, or even go to SCA and try to colour match to the car (this can be a better option sometimes as paint will fade)
