The most popular codes are B or XSC0691 but you need to check for a match before use as there are loads more codes listed and under these two you still have shade options available.

It marked B3 in the front of my car. Do you think its that?
I bought a spraycan the other day from a local car dealer. They asked me for the right colour code and I gave them B3. Than I came home and spray a little bit of my bonnet. It was not the same colour.

But I dont think I can get the same colour with a spraycan. I think I need a real colouer from a painting dealer.

B3 is the code but need it matching with proper paint. You will never get a good match with a rattle can
