Default Paint colour?

Soo trying to find out what paint colour we need for my mate. It's for an '03 Fiesta, the paint code is C2 but halfords couldn't help us and the Ford garage has now shut.. Tried looking online but couldn't find anything, can anyone help us please?!

Cheers

Flo

Ford colours are a nightmare. Can't think what it could be. Have you got a picture of it? also what colour is it?

Mal's right, unless its red, then it'll be colorado red.

If it's neither then good luck

Hi flo,be a bit careful with metropolis as theres about 20 different shades of it,I got caught out on it myself.If theres a local paint supplies near you,then call in with the car and they can give u the colour swabs and you can match it up. Most only charge about a tenner if its aerosol you want and its of a far superior quality than the halfords stuff.

as said above pretty much every colour has shades/variations, if theres no suppliers near by try a bodyshop, we have a colour match system ourselves and match customers cars even if we're not repairing them
