VN Blue Calais - help with colour code for bumpers and trims!

VN Paint Codes
I've resprayed my VN Calais in the original Metallic Imperial Blue (2b059), looks ok.
I needed to know what colour SILVER is used on the bumpers, bottom of the door panels, and the trims.
Airstrike posted a fantastic table of codes, which shows my blue calais should use 1=4b014 Azure Silver. I've been to paint supplies and had this paint mixed up, and it is almost a light blue! more blue than silver! I'm not sure if they stuffed the mix up, or if ive used the wrong colour code here...
Can anyone shed some light on colour codes for Calais bumpers?!
Here's some photos of the trims...

i had to have a bumper re-spray (insurance job) last week on my calais,and apparently it's on the paint code decal,thats where the painter looked to get the silver code for mineOriginally Posted by travb81
My VIN panel shows Trims = 14I, but i think this is interior trimmings, not external bumpers + trims.
Just been to Repco, and had a look in their manual, but there are too many silvers to work out which one it is. They suggested I call Holden and give them my VIN.
so theres no paint code for bumpers then on the decal? nothing with a / with paint code? because like i said the painter looked at my decal got the code,and said thanks,be ready next day..but then again he may of been playing smart,and already new the code...
Nah Steve,
my vin plate is in the posts above, but nothing to do with paint code for the bumpers.... maybe the panel beater saw the VIN number and did a check that way, or was looking at the year of manufacture on your car....
looking at your plate it's same month and year as my calais....i'll have a look in the morning,got me curious now
Just been to a Holden dealer, they used two computer systems to look up the VIN (1990 is gettin old!), and gave me a print out on some of the vehicle details - but can't tell me a paint code for the bumpers/lower panels still!
I got lucky!
Crash Supplies in Adelaide were able to look up the code and confirm 4b014 = Azure Silver. I believe this means my paint supplier has stuffed up and added too much blue to the mix!
top job...just out of curiousty,how did they cross reference?iv'e got a front bar to paint in the near future,my calais bar.
