Just about to get the car re painted, have thought about a change of colour, but decided I like black far to much, even though in Spain, boy does it get hot when parked, you can cook your breakfast on it, it becomes a huge bbq lol, but I will say after 15min the air con does cool you down, provided u aint died of heat stroke sitting waiting for the engine to warm up, anyway can anyone tell me the paint code?
Thanks

I asked the factory about mine when I went for a respray and they gave me this..

Diamond Black PPG Code FOR.GN0

Individual PPG formula details that make up this colour code
D740 728.0 grams per 1 litre
D751 888.0 grams per 1 litre
D759 937.9 grams per 1 litre
D745 943.9 grams per 1 litre
D772 949.9 grams per 1 litre
D753 951.9 grams per 1 litre

Matt @ Jetstream did say that this didn't quite match what was on my car though (green 'flecks' rather than gold) so you might want to drop them a line!

Well have decided to go with the Audi/vw Diamond black magic, its a really deep black with a high shine strong metalic finish,
Will post some pics when shes done. The whole car will be painted, and all the carbon re laquered. Found a top sprayer in Spain and very close to me, 3 coats of laquer and flat and polished to a high shine mirror finish,
All for half of what it would of cost in the uk. Should look great.All new decals including 2 noble crowns in steel for the front 1/4 panel above the m400 badge on each side and one for the rear clam on to replace the Roush badge i have there.and some steel kick plates to finish off.biggrin
