Could I trouble you experts for a bit of info, please.

I need to know the name of the colour of my Disco. It's a mid-dark blue
metallic, on a late 1996. I think it could be biarritz blue, but arizona and
plymouth blue are also in the frame. Could anyone tell me, or tell me how to
find out?

Thanks
Chris

there should be a thing under the bonnet, I think, with either a paint code
or a paint name, or both.

If i remember correctly there's a plate under the bonnet of the Range
Rover and it' s actually got "Plymouth Blue" written on it. I'd go and
look but i had to leave the truck in work!

Same with The Old Girl. Incidentally, when having some new doors
resprayed on my previous 110 (which also had no paint code on it), the
bloke told me of the array of sunroof panel cut-outs on the wall at the
Ford paint shop, ranging from very pale red to deep vermilion, all of
which were the same paint code on brand new (before they left the
factory) vehicles. Oh, and don't forget the effect of sunlight on the
colour...

Red is one of those colours that seems to fade badly I've had a few pink
edged motors over the years oddly that XR3i I had was very original made
spraying the rear arch simple. I'm pretty sure I need Mistrale blue or
Plymouth http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/metal.html
I should pop in the dealers and ask.

Ah yes, paint does fade. My Series had a wing re-sprayed 35 years ago after a
horse left a hoof print in it (don't ask). It's now a totally different colour
to the rest of the panels, it's several shades of green darker than surrounding
panels.

Can't get good help these days

on my old saab the paint code was on a sticker that was stuck onto a
blank section on the VIN plate. Fine until i pressure washed the
engine when i got it to remove 20 years or grime.

It's number 965. No name.

So a dealer would be able to tell me, given that number?
