Just seeking some clarity on the paint codes for an MY03 CPV35.

QX1-Ivory Pearl
KY0-Brilliant Silver
KX6-Desert Platinum
B16-Caribbean Blue
AX6-Laser Red
KH3-Black Obsidian
WV2-Diamond Graphite

My car appears to be silver, but I was wondering whether there was a way to tell (without going to the trouble of taking it to a panel beater.)

Desert Platinum - appears to have a gold tinge,

Diamond Graphite - is a darker grey.

I'll try to take a photo when I'm at home (however it's been a while since I've been there in daylight hours.) :closedeyes:

you should make 1 thread and name it "questions"

I realised that the questions were generating a lot of traffic, however I thought it would be helpful for others when they search the forum to have individual topics, rather than having to search through long posts.

I didn't see any threads that outlined the colour differences, so I thought it would be good to start one. :unsure:

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
