Do you know paint code for the 1979 metallic green?

Looked everywhere for that...

should have looked here first

 

Does anyone know anywhere in Australia you could buy it?

 

Any good paint shop should be able to mix it for you.

 

no worries

i'll get that done..

Cheers

 

thats an excellent link! good post.

 

I'm not sure how accurate it is though...or at least it's not complete. I have a '79 that is "Sonic Bronze Metallic" and I don't see that in the list. It's somewhere between the Sunrise (RH) and the Copper (Y9).

Yeah it's definitely not 100% accurate. There is a red color missing for S3's also.

What happened to the other site that had color codes? Was it Felix's?

 

I put up as many colour codes as people made me aware of... if there are others, email me them and I'll add them to the list

 

there is a color called "ocean blue" but i don't know the paint code. if someone who has a 7 i ocean blue that would like to post up the code that would be great!

 

Rich your RX 's code is Y5 for Sonic Bronze Metallic...
only SA color in blue I have listed is Daytona Blue Metallic: Y9
-this according to the 79 Factory Parts Book...

Were those US-only colours?

And I've got Y9 down as Copper Metallic

 

I've used auto color library for years. They pretty much have all of the factory colors for domestic and foreign cars. Here's a link for the 1979 model year. Kevin

Slowly adding missing colours. It's tough, because that paint guide you linked to seems to show US market colours only, whereas another guide shows Canadian only, the samples don't scan well for true matching, etc.

 

Here is what my 79 SA N.Am. Spec OEM parts book describes for color availabilty of SAs:
A9-Daytona Blue Metallic
E6-Beat Black Metallic
G4-Mach Green Metallic
K3-Sunbeam Silver Metallic
RH-Sunrise Red
WN-Aurora White
YU-Spark Yellow
Y5-Sonic Bronze Metallic

Note this is the 79 SA - don't know if there were additional colors for the 80 SA? Anyone??

I have seen every color EXCEPT the "Mach Green Met" - which _might_ be the bright (!) green favored by the japanese home market but never sold here (??).
I attach a pic of what I assume is this color...

That looks more like G2 Pearl Green Metallic

 

i'll post a photo of my car
someones bound to know the color

 

Here it is....



any clues?

 

Can you not find the paint code on it? It looks like G2.

 

where is the code located, i have looked

 

have you looked on the driver's side firewall?

 

yeah there is no code there

 

Inner door jam? I've no idea where it is on Aussie models...
