It's driving me nuts. I have to know. Who's car is this? and what is the paint code on the color of this car. I must know.

I'm a MKIII guy thats all about white MKIII's, but this color is just flat out sick.

If you have more pictures of this car, feel free to post it please!

Thank you.

I think it's just the exposure that the pic was taken with. My car doesn't look nowhere near that awesome.

The car itself started it's life out as a factory 0182 grey '91. An insurance paintjob resulted in that color that you see. It's definitely not the stock color as you can see the euro mirrors were painted (at a later date from the insurance job) using the stock paint code. Unfortunately, I don't have the paint info as the shop that did it went under. Paint matching parts is very hit or miss and why my car looks so thrown together. A complete high quality paintjob is out of my budget at the moment so I'm stuck with the car as is.

Thanks for the comments... You would be surprised how often I wish I just had a plain black car (easy paint matching) :cry:

To answer your question, it's a greyish metallic with a very, very slight greenish tint under certain lighting.

I have also seen pics of SuprA70's car but never noticed the mirrors were a different color until now that he has spilled the beans.
