Default What colour is my car?

Its moonstone blue, I know that much but how do I find which shade it is because I know there is more than one and I need a couple of things painting bfore they get put on the car? Where can I find the colour code?

Thanks for your help.
Ian

it up to to the person painting it to find the right shade.

its bollox when ppl ask what shade is my car because u can make any shade you want.

take the car to the bodyshop and get them to match it.

i hate it when ppl try and tell me what shade there car is

It is moonstone blue, you cant get the variant off the car, you have to use colour chips and compare to find the closest, "your mate" should know that being a painter....
