Exterior/interior colour spec

abme

found this whilst looking for my paint touch up
http://www.amicale-Avantime.com/production2.php
quite interesting because it tells you the number of cars produced with what paint spec and interior finish, needed to use a translator though. Could it be I've got the only one in my spec?

Have you looked at the downloads section? There's a good number of guides on various things, including an excellent stone chip repair guide which also has all the codes. Well worth a read before you start touching up to get great results.

Tempest

when I search for my colour match for 211 steppe
I get 2 choices grey or green - trouble is I can't tell if it is grey or green, anyone know how to choose the correct colour match?

Avantime4mike

Search using the "Car Model" box and select Avantime then you get one option (211 Steppe). It's called Steppe because it changes colour in different light. so sometimes it's grey, sometimes green, sometimes blue and sometimes silver.

abme

yes a car that changes colour - ace..

abme

I've just had the car professionally touched up and I must say it looks terrific. I had a wing mirror knocked about and scratched by some lovely person and the back bumper had a few nibbles where someone had missed whilst trying to hook up a trailer or caravan plus a few marks around the boot. The chap came to my house with a van and did it on the drive. He was here for around 6 hours and charged me 130 quid, bargain for all that filling and painting!

Tempest

Well done. Post the guys details.

abme

His name is Rob, telephone number 07720 771 402, he doesn't have a website, I found him when he was doing someones car around the corner from my house. All his work is word of mouth, I'll post some pics later.

£130 is a bargain for 6hrs skilled work

Johnny_Essex

To avoid unnecessary contacts, what is his locality?

abme

He's based in Chorley, Lancashire, not far from Preston about 30 miles north of Manchester.

yes and he did a really good job, I can see where he has worked his magic but anyone else would be hard pressed to spot it and it's Steppe as well so very difficult to match.

colinb

I would certainly be interested in seeing the pics, what with having a Steppe in need of a few touch ups

abme

Wing mirror re-touch

abme

Now the nibbles that were produced by someone hitching a trailer (I removed the tow bar prior to painting)

abme

Finished product, particularly impressed that he got the creases out of the bodywork below the number plate which were rippled and as you can see a good colour match

Tempest

Looks to have done a fantastic job....very impressed.

abme

Yes he did well didn't he. He mentioned that he has been asked to go to Holland to do jobs so I don't know how far he is willing to travel but I'll definitely use him again if need be (fingers crossed I won't need to).

colinb

Yes it looks very good. It's a long way from SW16 to Chorley ... but my son is at Manchester Uni. I think I might be visiting him sooner than I bargained for

abme

Make sure you let me know when you're up this way and we can meet.

This is an interesting site but for the life of me I cannot tell the difference between 'Harmonie beige hoggar' and 'Harmonie leather beige'. Anyone out there who can fill the gap in my knowledge?
