VP interior colour codes

[MasterOfReality]

Visited a few panel shops on Friday afternoon and called a couple more places, no luck.

The best option so far is from Variety Paints, as they have a 23i Steel Blue in the SEM paint.

I contacted BCS and they don't have the stereo surround colour and suggested sending them something to colour match.

In Melbourne I use Viponds Tautflex for plastic and vinyl parts- they will colour match at their factory in Tullamarine. For most parts I find the paint is best applied with a sponge- to preserve the plastic's rippled surface effect.

Yeah I saw that!

Been looking at that page and on the monitor his 23i doesn't seem quite right.

I'm sending the following down to BCS paints to get colour matched. The 23i door grab handle insert matches my original console and stereo surround shroud thingy.

Sorry, I meant the larger surround, not the smaller grey one.

This is 23i:

I'm not 100% sold on the Revtek colour match:

That makes more sense!

It’s hard to judge off screens these shades.

I await your review before I purchase

I'll get mine colour matched at BCS as I can't tell off the screen with this new stuff.

But then again, I had a look inside the car the other day and there seems to be like five shades of 23i lol.

When painting any of the parts, They ALL need to come out & be painted at the same time! Other wise you will have all these different parts with different shades of the same colour.

I’ll just be continuing the GM theory of close enough is good enough!
