Paint Code Klo

[smokiebbear]

Hi all,

I'm getting my R33 GTR V-Spec repainted at the moment, it's half finished and I've just noticed my painter is using a colour called "Platinum Silver". My GTR is build number 4XXX and being a 95 model I'm assuming it should be "Silver Spark". On the paint can it says paint code KLO which is correct to my vehicle however I'm just wanting to check if there is any actual difference or its just the same mixture with a different name for the Laurel/GTR. I'm trying to keep it original paint colour and it looks almost identical however I want to be sure.

Quick replies would be great before it gets painted any further. Please only reply if you are 100% sure on what you are saying is correct. I'm looking for factual information not "I thinks".

Thanks everyone

Regards

Matthew

According to Paint Codes sticky'd by N1GTR at the top of this subforum,

BCNR33 > KL0 = Spark Silver

I hope that your painter (being half way through) is using the Nissan KL0 mix!!!

I've looked at those codes. If you scroll down it says the Laurel is "Platinum Silver". On the paint can it has "Nissan - KLO - Silver Spark"

This is why I'm after 100% confirmation they are either the exact same colour or not.

"KL0" - Platinum Silver on a Laurel should still be an identical mix as the "KL0" - Spark Silver on a BCNR33

Sorry on the paint can it has "Nissan - KLO - Platinum Silver. I'm hoping these are the same

It should be the same.

Anomalies do exist; but only between different manufacturers I believe. For instance, there is no similarity between GM's "QM1" Vs Nissan's "QM1".
