does anyone know the paint codes for a bx 16v in red and the black part around the door?

The red is on the inner N/S wing under the bonnet (although it\'s Venetian Red if that helps)

The black bit is weird....it\'s not actually normal paint, it\'s like a plastic coat spray on stuff. Looks and feels like paint, but isn\'t! I\'ve just go with gloss black and do em all again.

Ive been told EXX is the colour code for the black paint?

It is EXX but you can't get it mixed up any more as one of the components has lead in it - banned by EU directives apparently etc.

I used Halfords silk black - works fine.
