joedakio 0 Posted March 12, 2008 i always thought Gun-Metal Grey was a colour? My car has been crash-damaged and cant find the paint code in the ususal places. Which of these would have been closest to the 'gun-metal' colour that is often used to describe Corrados: Diamond Silver Metallic -----------------L97A ----------------------90 Light Grey Metallic ----------------------LP7Z -----------------------91 Pearl Grey Metallic ----------------------LA7U ---------------------91 - 93 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwdeviant 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Any-one got the code for Irish Green? Was it a pearl/mettalic? Plans... plans... Yeah it's, PUK3 I think.... Did say it was a Marmite colour.. Walsey don't worry I'm thinking about a Mk2 Synchro Project my mate has sat waiting to do something with.. Was thinking NATo green/Black, but quite like Irish green/Black but needs to get a code for our paint man to run a sample up. Joedakio, sorry to hear your Rado's not turned out to be as good you hoped, but rest assured you have one of the best Colours (IMHO) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted March 13, 2008 That Khaki green is like a cross between my excellent best colour corrado green pearl effect and classic green Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joedakio 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Joedakio, sorry to hear your Rado's not turned out to be as good you hoped, but rest assured you have one of the best Colours (IMHO) thanks walsey. i agree with you on the colour, as this is the second one ive had in "pearl grey". the rado never turned out to be as good as i thought as the previous owner lied to me about its condition, and that it had been written off- in a very deceiving manner! i have already decided it will be resprayed and have almost collected all the parts needed. my first grey rado: no worries, had a little browse through your posts to see if you had put any new pics up yet..looking forward to seeing some! tis a shame that Nomore GT4 wasnt honest about the car, not on really..how is she running at the moment though mate?? shes very strong, does 64 miles a day to work and back, is more economical than my 2nd Rado( Aqua Blue Pearl Effect--LC5U - 91 - 95 -I think) My latest is still under 100,000 miles, and once the bodywork is done ill spend a little time/money on the engine but i just have to get the paint work/bodywork right before i can start enjoying it properly. here's a taster of its future: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hub 0 Posted March 13, 2008 I'm baffled, as you can see my Raddo is grey, Pearl Gray I thought... but from the list it claims Pearl Grey was only available from 91 onwards :shrug: Now my Raddo is a 90 and has had paint at some stage but i always thought it was painted in the original colour... can anyone confirm 1990 C's didnt come in Pearl Grey???
