Hi, I recently sold my ka and got an 86 sierra 5door, it came with a hit on the rear, which i fixed but now i need paint as it's on undercoat.

I cannot find a matching color and it should be factory original spray, code on vin plate is C6 but when i search for C6 i find nothing, when i searched from color codes ford maritime blue was the closest match but the car seems different color depending on angle somethimes it's light blue that is slightly on the grey scale other time it's strong blue depends on position and lighting.

Any help Appreciated,
Thanks



that is the vin plate

Take the car or a piece of it if it cant be driven to your local automotive paint suppliers so they can scan the colour with a spectrocolourmeter they can match it then

are you in the UK?

 

No im in malta but thats what indid, color is mistral blue ford code 374so i have no idea why it c c6 on vib plate

 

That' a shame your in Malta I was hoping there was a 1.3 base sierra on road in the uk, you will have to pop more pictures up of it

 

Will post some pictures soon but i m removing that tinting first and maybe put on some full size tyres not that stretched ugliness

 

steppy, just out of curiosity about how much would it sell something like mine? it has no rust everything factory original except stereo and wheels i think, no rust in sight not even on floor boards and less then 50k km's (30k miles)

 

I will be honest I don't really know, I can't remember the last time I saw a 1.3 let alone one for sale (they weren't really popular over here) im one of those strange people who thinks of them a bit like a unicorn, something you hear about but never see so I'd like one just to show they exist

 

hahahahahaha i know where you re coming from, they are not common over here either nowadays since most sierra have had a diesel transplant and most of them not even a ford engine :'( makes me really sad when i see a sierra with a toyota 2l diesel in or a 1.7 isuzu td :'( :'(

 

Im looking forward to those extra pictures of it

 

tomotrrow or day after

 

tinted on rear quarter window will come off shortly



this is when i got it, sticker was removed and sunvisor tint will be removed



bit out of focus, mobile pic @ 11:30 om sorry



that's the almighty and powerfull 1.3 ohc dosen t even spin the wheels :'(

 

Looks a nice shell from the pictures, I like that

 

yea shell is very clean, no rust anywhere just a few dents and scratches
