Hi y'all - Anyone know about the paint?

Post by daffynspacegirl »

Hello, new Largo driver here... and lovin' it.
Just got my Largo for a bargain, problem is... it was a bargain because there isn't much paint left between the scratches! Does anyone know where the paint code is found? It's a '93 4x4 in black, painting it isn't a problem, just need to know the name of the paint.

Thanks
Daf

hi daf and welcome,
if theres so many scratches why dont you do the whole of it and have your own colour,
in middle under bonnet at back is a plate should have info on there i think
but so many differant blacks to choose from,

Thanks for looking and the replies.... I would love to pimp it right up with heat reactive and cosmos paint, I dont think the rubber trim would survive being stripped from the van - I dont know where I can buy new rubber trim for all of the largo.

Thanks for the 'hellos'.... had some luck with the paint, just took it to my local car paint place, Largo paint codes are meaningless over here so the dude just put a spectrum analyser to the van and mixed an exact match in 10mins!! £20 for half a litre... Big bonus. Now to get the machine polisher going and dust off my paint guns.
