Paint code for wheel arch skins

[Barry.b]

Hi guys
I am just putting my inner wheel arch liners back in and unfortunately they are quite discoloured
Does anyone have a recommended method for getting them back to original colour ?

I had spray cans filled with color matched paint from a vinyl sample, any decent auto paint store can do this.

Hi Chris
Was it special paint for vinyl
Or something standard ?

You can’t go wrong. It’s on eBay Ireland.!

Thanks again guys !!!!
I just bought some on eBay.ie

I believe it was a vinyl paint. Storm grey is good but a bit light.

Hi guys
Does anyone know of an available source in Europe for vinyl spray paint that matches ?
I did buy the Sem product but unfortunately the courier company will not deliver it to me .

We use SEM 15763 Storm Gray Color Coat - 12 oz.

That's the color I used. I believe I bought it locally at a Automotive/Boat Upholstery Supply store.

Okay
SEM paint products don’t seem to be available to purchase in Ireland or Europe unfortunately.
Actually that’s not 100% accurate
I did manage to buy some on eBay.ie but the seller was based somewhere in New York . The purchase went through no problem and they shipped it to me.
When it got to the couriers outbound shipping warehouse somewhere in the states, the package was deemed unsuitable for delivery and they “ liquidated “ the item.
Does anyone know the RAL number for the colour or something ?
Thanks again !

Update to the E9 - color placement - new section

Chris Macha was kind enough to forwarded this fine list of color codes used on the E9.

I can’t control myself. Taking this to a new level for E9 geekdom…...

I want to expand this list to include a new section and I need some help: Undercarriage. Specifically the torque stripes and inspection verification paint brush strokes that were originally used in the quality control process during manufacture.

There are many paint codes downstairs on the E9 undercarriage and I want to get this right. Not only for this fine community but...

Hi guys
I managed to find RAL 7042 Grey vinyl spray paint today online.
Hopefully when it arrives it will be a good match .
It is Crop brand and is being shipped from the Netherlands.
Thanks again for all the advice.

keep in mind, there is a huge difference in vinyl paint and regular paint. you want a vinyl paint for the wheel arches.

What they should look like?
