Colour code confusion

[BGB autosport]

Need to get some paint mixed up, i have always been under the impression my car is moonraker black, it had the side done at carizma and i presume thats what they used as he mentioned moonraker.

Anyway i have got the body code off the vin plate and it looks like B519B,

On this thread it states its Crystal black, there is no moonraker black at all,

But on this thread there is no crystal black but there is a moonraker black but the code is BS19B

moonraker black code is nexa B519B, any problems give me a shout.

Excellent that confirms it is moonraker black, so is the reference to crystal black in that first link incorrect?

[potato muncher]

it could just mean that the colour in its lifetime has had 2 different names but i will look into that and see if the records are correct.

Its on the alternative paint code list at the top of this forum - its in the list 3 times!
