How do I define the colour of my silver Zed

[doctor austin]

I have the very light silver coloured zed, for the last year I have thought the colour was called Blade Silver...but blade silver touch up doesn't match...much to dark.... can anyone tell me the name and code of the really light silver colour. My Zed is a 2003 import so the colour code is in Japanese. I now wonder if its called Silver Alloy? any help appreciated as I need to touch in some chips etc......thank you in anticipation..

I think its more likely the blade match you got is way off?

[UNABASHED]

i may be completely incorrect, but I thought I read on here that there have been a few variations of the silver?

that blade silver is a pain in the arse to match in,. even with paint codes the bodyshop i use showed me the 6 colour cards assosiated with that paint code, and even then non of them were exactly right, and the paint had to be tweeked to match.

Ah Mr Biscuit...now you have seen my car.. from memory it was much lighter than yours so if your Zed was called Blade Silver mine cant be...so what are the silver colour options ...anyone?

[doctor austin]

Okay so had a good look again and found a legable code under the bonnet K25G does this mean anything to anyone? The more I think about it the more inclined I am that I dont know the colour of my car..

I know the names are different, but the colour codes should be the same:

 

AFAIK Liquid Aluminium only came on the 2004's and Silver Alloy was only on the later models.

& to go with Shift's post, there's also this:

Nagaro red is missing from Shift's response, but not relevant to a silver car.

 

 

Mods is it possible to have this in the FAQ's for newbies and not so newbies?

So I have ordered the K25 colour......when it arrives I will tell of the results......one thing for sure Blade Silver is not the light (aluminium) silver of my car...and many others.

[doctor austin]

Okay so it does match. So K25 (silver effect) is the code located under the bonnet and probably elswhere if you can read Japanese. still dont know the name of the colour though..but so what..at least the stones chips can be touched in and they nearly disappear

I went to a Brown Brothers and they mıxed up some Blade Sılver for mıneç good colour match
