[LongLiveTheNova]

Is it 10L, cus i have been spraying bits for my MK3 astra in this colour and it never seems to match.
Its a 1992 if that helps.
Could it be artic white.
Thanks

where r u buying the paint?
glacier white has red and black in it,
so every 1 that mix'es it makes it different
i found the lessmith was 2 pinky
and halfords was to gray
i got a colour match made paint was the best way
be

[LongLiveTheNova]

Halfords. It seems to be too creamy to me, my orignal car colour seem more white than the spray colour.

[Benn]

yep
had that prob
try a paint specailest (sp?)
i found a place that uses a light beam which gets the match to ur cars paint,
its prefect to the colour of ur car,

[Benn]

Go to vauxhall and get the code!!!! at least you know you'll have the right one!!!

I think it is 10L, as my mates car is the same/very similar colour and that is 10L, and he know his is glacier white.

its 10L i just looked at the paint i sprayed my car in....i had loads of diffrent bits painted on my nova befour i had it resprayed, my mate used to do it for me at his paint shop and the colour never looked the same twice..esp on plastic ,what under coat u used...try yellow

[LongLiveTheNova]

U sed white primer, thats what the bloke at the car shop said to use for vauxhall glacier white, the first can was halfords which came out yellowy, but the second was for my dtms and they came out brighter and more of a match but still not the same colour.
Cheers for giving me the 100% on the paint code.
I needed the code to spray my bumpers, i am gonna colour code them and hopefully they will as least be white-ish.
Does anyone know how many cans of spray paint i would be looking at for front and rear bumpers.

[BIG jts]

loads...u wanna used a etched primer to cover up the nobbly bits on the bumpers,thats if there not all redy painted??

[LongLiveTheNova]

Not they are the standard bumpers, i am thinking 4 cans of colour and 4 of primer, where can i get ecthed primer from, is that the high build stuff that fills up bumps etc.I am gonna try and sand the nobbly bits out.

[LongLiveTheNova]

Also what colour primer do you recon, i will only have the paint for one go so it must be spot on first time.

[BIG jts]

Im no painter, but you will prob need some sort of plastic primer or the paint will flake off in big chunks, you can buy this and etched primer from any good car shops but plastic primer is quite exspensive and would prob cost less and look a lot better if u got the done a a body shop i got mine done a few years ago 4 about £40 each...
