The paint code for 90-91 gray interior parts?

[ToniH]

Does anybody know the code for the metallic gray interior parts in these cars?

Thanks!

My black book indicates the code is 903, hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll give that a try at my local car paint store.

Does the book specify that the color is for the plastic parts - not the interior itself? The plastic parts are the same color for all cars in these years no matter what the seat / carpet color is.

Sorry, that is all the information listed but agree the trim code might not help you. I saw an on-line article somewhere covering the process to refinish those pieces but can't locate it right now, if I run across it I will post a link.

Thanks for your help.

That article applies to older C4's. Totally different interior and no grey painted parts at all.

Sorry, I didn't check the years listed in the article. Maybe the manufacturer of products listed in the article can provide what you need if you contact them? Just an idea.

I don’t have firsthand experience with the product, but it may be something to check out. It’s from Ecklers website. I’m sure Mid America would have it or something similar.

Good luck on the restoriation!

Thanks, I've seen that but they don't ship spray cans overseas. That is the reason I need the code for.

I post some photos of my project in an another thread for your enjoyment

Oh, sorry about that.

Know anybody here in the states that you can ship your parts to and have them paint, then return the parts to you?

If I had experience in doing it, I’d do it for you, but I’ve never worked with the product before.

Just saw your other post with the photos, those seats and other leather pieces look incredible! You’ll have to post pictures when you have it all done.

Yes, I have friends in USA but it is easier to get the paint mixed here locally. It becomes very easy with the paint code but can be done even without it by reading the color straight out of the panel with some sort of optical meter they use in the paint shop.

As I am repainting them all result with the paint code is preferred as the color is like it was when new, not after 15 years of fading.

Cool, looks like it’s going to be one heck of a nice ’91.

Thanks! The seats also feel very good as the paddings were improved by the upholsterer in the process.

I will post more photos soon.

PS. there is a nice new leather smell in my kitchen now as I left the small parts on the kitchen table

Paint code problem solved, the local car paint pro mixed me paint (by eye) that is so close that I can't see the difference.
