Paint code for vehicle colour can be found here

Where is my paint code?

Every vehicle has a paint code from the manufacturer. Not all codes are easy to find, especially Fords. They are generally on the door pillar, under the engine bay or sometimes in the boot. They are usually a mixture of numbers and letters, for example LB9A.

What paint do I need?

For most vehicles, you will need either a 2k or basecoat paint. 2K acrylic is a high performance two pack acrylic finish with excellent gloss and gloss retention. Good resistance to mechanical damage, solvent and chemical spillage. Typically used on plant, machinery, agricultural, construction equipment and motor vehicles.

Our Kapci Basecoat offers solid color basecoats, metallic basecoats, pearlescent and special effect basecoats. When used in conjunction with clearcoats Kapcibase 670 basecoat colors deliver a durable coating with an excellent high gloss finish.
