I'm working on a partial restoration of a copper coloured '78 924. It has been repainted already, but the colour is close to the original. The paint code located near the battery is gone. Any suggestions what the code might be? It's apparently similar to a colour used by Nissan a few years ago, according to the local paint guy, who scanned it with a DuPont prgram. He still wants the paint code!

I believe your paint code is also listed on the sticker under the rear hatch carpet by the spare tire well.

Chrenan:
Thanks for the paint codes. I'm sure they'll help alot! The sticker near the spare tire well is not present either, WhoDak. It's like a conspiracy...

[Chrenan]

No problem. Keep your eyes peeled on the board, a few of the local guys will likely try to get out for a group drive and get together in the summer...
