210 Paint Code

[frogman]

Hi, need some help with Colour Code & Name for the Orange on my brothers '78 C210.

[Socrates]

718

or if it doesnt work CLR718

this colour:

[frogman]

hmm... it's this colour....

Where is the code? Was it on a sticker thats long gone? couldn't see it on the tags....

[hcg210]

what month and the year.. also the code is on the radiator support panel near the bonnet lock on the left side looking down from top. The c210 had a different number, after a particular month, and year...

[frogman]

It's 8/78 model. I thought I got lucky!... but i didn't... I looked up and it has a paint code sticker on the underside of the bonnet... but it's not the original one from the car, code 208 is a yellow

No sticker left on the radiator support...

[frogman]

227, burnt orange?

[frogman]

found this...

http://www.ratdat.com/?p=340 718 is copper orange met

looks like it's 'Burnt Orange', can anyone confirm?

[hcg210]

Cheers

Same same, your car is in the sun, mine isnt.

Mines a 8/78 as well, and it is definitely 718.

I've used it on two occasions to make up spray cans for stuff.

With respect to mario, it is metallic cause it sparkles in direct sunlight when looked at closely.

Original paint for sure.

Thanks for the input guys, but after some more searching 227 Burnt Orange is the correct colour for the car.

Now for the fun part... off to start sanding....

[Socrates]

make sure you do a test spray first, i dont think you have the right code.

i will check my orange one tomorrow.

it is not metallic.
