boldy205 74 Posted January 17, 2012 Evenin! I have been trying to find the paint code for my 1991 (J Plate) Miami, so far i have found nothing on the haedlight pannel, but did find M0MY on the forum search, thanks for the guide!This is great but it does not state the year. I thought there were differant shades for the years? Thanks for any help. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted January 17, 2012 all the same codes, just different shades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted January 18, 2012 Hmmm, how do i know what shade? Would the paint supplier ask for a code and a year for example? Thanks Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted January 18, 2012 Yours will be the darker shade (the earlier limited edition Phase 1.5 Miami's were a lighter shade) but even then there's several minor sub-shades. Any good body shop or paint supplier should be able to match the colour though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted January 18, 2012 Never simple is it!! Will take a bit of the car with me then. Doubt i could ever notice the differance?! Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted January 18, 2012 You will certainly notice between the earlier (lighter) and later (darker) shades as it's pretty obvious, but the sub-shades are - I believe - very subtle and just variations taking into account slight differences in mixing the paint and variations in paint fade over the years. Earlier (Phase 1.5 limited edition) shade: Later (Phase 2) shade: Not the best photos out there, but hopefully sufficient to see the difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Paint codes This forums website has Anthracite grey as MOTW which is Graphite grey on my slam panel markings. The above will give you the right code. The later Miami shade is one of my favorites when it comes to 205 GTi's, not keen on the lighter shade tbh. Edited January 24, 2012 by SurGie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d7ve_b 44 1 Cars Posted January 24, 2012 All I'll say is good luck getting it matched. I have a phase 1.5 miami and I went through a bit of an ordeal getting some paint done on mine, but that could of been down to my choice of bodyshop! Linky linky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted February 2, 2012 Is it not the same shade for both of the phase1 and 2 cars ? I thought that it just because paint can fade with age of the car... the older then blue will look brighter and less vibrant... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d7ve_b 44 1 Cars Posted February 2, 2012 No they're noticeable different. Early Miami FTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ponz 2 Posted February 3, 2012 Ok, so there are two different shades of Miami, but only one paint code listed? The paint code MOMY, is that the later, darker shade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted February 3, 2012 there's more than two shades, plus fading.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted February 3, 2012 There is about 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted February 4, 2012 I asked for MOMY at the paint shop and what they gave me was a pretty good match to my J plate ( later shade) Miami. Its very slightly darker than my original paint, but where it it u hardly notice it. Think the only real way is to get them to match it. Thanks for all the help. Matt.
