Paint colour??

Post by leadsled_van »

Hi I'm wondering how to find out the paint colour of my van, it's an FB colour but not the factory colour for this vehicle and the previous owner is Bi-Polar and a bastard to deal with.

it's a blue/grey colour, i'm having trouble posting pics but will try to add one when i sort it out.

Its a straight colour isnt it ? There must be a decent paint shop up your way who can either eye match or use one of those fancy machines to match it.
Where are you ???
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
