Guess the colour thread!

G'day Folks,
Can anyone here help me identify the paint colour code for my new PV544? https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1516472994 The wing has been redone more recently (I feel) than the dull bonnet. The data tag on the car gives a number that's not red. There's a possibility the red isn't even a Volvo colour - which will be a pain in the arse - but I get the feeling there's a good chance this is as the job done was really thorough. (To the extent that makes me think the shell was only ever red) |

Its listed as a number on vin plate as "farg utv" in my case 67 slate blue or scifferbla. Cladstel is the upholstry. Post a pic' of your plate and I will give you details

It has been painted really well (as well as being botched by others later on): The entire shell has been done inside door posts etc. |
It has been suggested on a different (Dutch) forum that colour code 46 might be it.
Image search on the interweb gave this http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a43...ailyDriver.jpg Looks like it was a dull day |
Yes, looks like "robin rod 46" Is the interior, door panels and seats, grey and cream?
What year and which engine? |

I've just got some testers from the online paint place that I frequent and it looks like Signal Red 155 is going to be close enough. I'm in the middle of painting up a scrap of metal to make sure.

Had the same problem with my 1972 140, the colour code on the vin plate said
46 cherry red but every sample I got using this info was not right. I contacted www. autopaintsbrightin.co.uk who said if I sent a sample ( fuel filler cap) they would match it, so I did and got sample and it was perfect 👌 1 ltr bought and job done. |
Paint code 46 cherry red

Thanks Jeff.
That picture confirms that 46 isn't what I've got. I did get a local paint shop to mix up a custom match but they didn't say until the end of the process that they couldn't supply a paint that didn't need a clear coat. I tried to get the on-line place to replicate the colour and they sent something that is pink... ...oh dear something went wrong. |
