What colour?
Sorry for the daft question but how do I find out what colour my car is? Ok I know it's grey but I need a few rattle cans made up.

Re: What colour?
There should be a sticker inside the boot with a bunch of codes on it (white paper with black text). The paint code will be two letters, a number and a letter e.g. LA7Y. If you have the original handbooks it is sometimes duplicated in the service book.
There are a few different shades of grey. This site might help if you can't find your sticker:

Re: What colour?
Word of warning, don't use Halfords for mixing rattle cans, I tried once and the colour was so far out.
I got some from here in the end and the 4 different colours for different cars I've used have been spot on.

Re: What colour?
To be fair to them, the quality of the custom mixed paint from halfords was very good, and not too bad on price if you've got a trade card. Just a shame the colour was a bit off
