Paint Codes?? Help?

[pfundu1]

Hello I'm looking for info on how to tell what color of silver paint is on my car? I know you need to look on the VIN plate, but then where can you fined out what it all is saying??

Where should my RPM's be when at 80 mph on a 2.0L? My are at 3400 or so is this about where they should be?

Thanks for the help,

Paul

The paint code should be on the rivetted plate at the front of the engine bay near the front grill, on this you should have a Z code mine is Z147 which is star silver from memory.

Best thing to do is take the code to VX and they can give you a definate on the colour.

Mine is star silver too Z157 Vx part no 9200119 for the touch up pen.  More than one shade of the same colour. :-/  My paint code is found by opening the drivers door - its on a black sticker on the B pillar.

Z147 is Star Silver 2

There are 3 versions I think

Vx should be able to find yours from the VIN number  - or get the "Parts Expert" to waddle out and have alook for himself

Guys, if I am not mistaken, Z147 is Titanium silver not STAR! It is a sort of champagne colour.

[Martin_1962]

As for the rpm vs mph, thats about right mate, my 2.0 manual estate is roughly there or thereabouts from memory..
