Odyssey paint colour

[paulcv8]

I had my Odyssey coloured 2005 5.7 scratched in a car park.

Called out one of the mobile chips and dent repairers (ChipsAway).

He could not find anywhere the correct colour formula.

He used the code on the car combined with the Vauxhall charts and ended up with Purple! Not quite a perfect match...

Vauxhall dealership has no idea.

Has anybody got an idea how/where I could find out the true colour code so that I can get the scratches painted?

A proper bodyshop would scan the colour in order to get exact match.

Try www.sikkens.com.au/Sikkens_Home.htm

Go to mixit on line.
Put in manufacturer make from the drop down option.
Put in name of paint Odyssey.
Put in year of car.

This gives you a colour code. If you click on the code it gives you the mix details.

Any good body shop will know the code and mixing details.

Have encountered a similar problem due to stone chips on mine.I intend to ensure the bodyshop at the dealership can repair the damage correctly at the first service.
However, as a temporary repair the spares dept, via vauxhall technical 3 weeks later, came up with the HSV labelled touch up paint-odyssey-276m-#93186309.
Unfortunately it is nothing like the correct colour!way too light a shade of grey.
Sorry this reply does not answer your question but i believe a little pressure on the dealership should ensure they source the correct paint to adequately repair and maintain the vehicles they sell.

I will be tring the Sikkens colour/mix coding if only to tell you what colour it ends up as!

Pentagon Derby must have the correct paint colour.I collected my car in april, with the rear spoiler painted and fitted by Pentagon. It is a perfect colour match.Hope this helps.
