Paint Codes

[T8STY-1]

Hey all, I just posted another thread on here about a mod I am working on... and I got to thinking... since I'm going to end up getting the car painted hy not go for the SILVER STEAL I have been wanting... I mean it's close enough to my stearling silver metallic, right?

If anyone has a Silver Steal 300 would you be so kind as to tell me what the paint code for that color is?
I was told from a not so reliable source that this is the same as my stearling silver metallic (paint code 99) but I have doubts about that...
Please help a girl out and clarify this for me...
Thanks guys. ttyl,
Cynthia

I am sure someone will verify but did a quick google search and found DA4?

You can easily confirm your paint code by looking at the circled area of the sticker on your door. Pic courtesy of GoofyTimL...

Rambit, there is one more color I can add to the list. It is PX8. This is a European color only which my car has. It's a solid black (not metallic) color. I don't know the right translation into English (I hope you can help me with this), but a word to word translation from Russian is the "Black Lacquer".

Thanks Prozac! PX8 is called Black Clearcoat here, but it's not a new colour at all. It's been used on many cars, trucks, Jeeps, minivans etc for years.

Are you saying this black is available on the 300's where you're at? That of course would be new!!!

I know I am posting to an old post but I have PBM and according to the manucafuter is is Steel Bule Metallic. Just thought I would throw in my .02 cents.

Yes Rambit. My car is PX8 color! You can see some pictures in my gallery and you see my car in my signature!
When I have ordered my car in 2007 basic colors were not metallic. So I bought the PX8 model. I don't know if its still available on the 2008 European models, or not.
