    Default Colour coding trolley strips

    hey fellas, have decided to have a go at 'colour coding' the trolley strips on the side of my white vs commodore. ive seen a few threads where people have done it and i know how to do it but what i need help with is the clolour.

    im going to be using spray cans.
    What is the actual colour of a white vs called? and where do people get the paint from for it?
    or is it just a case of matching the colour as best as possible?

    thanx
    Smith

    the exact colour code is on your id plate in your engine bay (if its the original colour and hasnt been resprayed a different colour in the past) you can get custom mix cans made up to match exactly ,ive used them and theyre pretty good.if it has been resprayed in the past just take the fuel filler cap down and the paint can be matched off that autobarn and alot of auto paint joints do the spraycans.

    Most Holden spare part outlets will mix it for you
    there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
