Right.. according to my slam panel, my car ( the orion ) is painted in 'jad gruen' which i presume is Jade green ? now i've been to fords and got their version of it from '85 and it's completely the wrong colour - like, too blue.
i wrote down everything that was on the slam plate and took it to chav central ( halfords ) and the dude mixed me up a tin of paint.. also too blue, took the same info to a local paint company and they said that the paint colour doesn't exist..
i was planning on taking it to a body shop to get the paintwork done, but with things the way they are, i can't afford it, so i was planning on getting a few rattle can's and doing the bumpers myself ( got xr bumpers on it ) so does anyone know what the proper code for it is ?
i've seen fiesta's, granada's and another orion the same colour as it..

i would not paint my push bike with the crap they sell at halford's..................ford's colour code's can be a nightmare to track down........i can have a look at work and see how many shades there are i would guess it would be one of the light shades.......halfords have one shade i may have anything from 1-20.......there are bodyshop supply people that can put any paint in a can........not crap!

right ici list 3 shades,no1,dark 1,dark 2 there the only ones.
the trouble with them being to blue is because it is cheap paint and they use cheap tinters and this is a common problem.
you should be able to get ici put in a aerosol.
id say try no1 would be close enough and would be miles better match than any cheap crap. 8 is the colour code mate it is the first letter or number on the silver plate.
if they still cant find it the ici referance is-0771b it is avalable in 2k,water base and cellose.
if you cant get it pm me your phone number.
regards neil.
