Default Can any one Identify this color?

I am getting my Del Sol painted and I think this color would look good with a carbon fiber hood and tinited windows. I just need to know the name of it so I can tell the body shop. Here is an S2000 in that particular color. If any one knows the name of a similar color, that would also be very helpful.



Thanks for the help guys

Yes! you rock ElCoqui19! Is that just a general automotive paint or specific to one manufacturer? The owner of the body shop said he would be taking pics of the whole process which is going to take a few months, but as soon as I get pics I will post em

You should be able to get the paint code of the S2000. Call your local dealer. The bodyshop should be able to find it also.

just walk into any Honda dealership. don't call them. go to the parts department, and ask them to see their color/paint chart. look up the S2k and it will show you color, and the paint code for that color.

Reason why i say walk in. if you say gunmetal grey, and charcoal grey. they MAY give you the wrong color code(happened to me).

body shops should also have paint books with the codes and color swatches from every manufacturer.
