What colour blue?

Hi all, I’m trying to work out the name/colour of my car, it’s a 1990 cab auto, the colour is very light metallic blue/silver, looks almost grey in certain light, thanks

Paint Years

probably sapphire metallic

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Actually on the 93, and 92 that I own there is a Yellow/orange Bar Code sticker on the drivers side inner fender for you after the Washer bottle and before the Strut that has the Paint code and color on it.

You can barely see it halfway between the Strut Tower and the Washer Jug below the Yellow silicone washer line.

99% sure it will be Sapphire metalic but bear in mind there will probably be loads of variants for this colour even if its still factory finish, not a problem if you are looking to fully repaint but if you're looking to do spot repairs etc you will need to find a decent paint shop.

 As you don't say what month your car was made/registered, here are a couple of brochure photos of paint options.

As Allblack says, Sapphire Metalic L5 looks the most likely option.
