portobe17o Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The plate on the drivers door pillar of my car suggests that the colour code is "D2". Chippex lists this as bright red whereas my car is bright black. How do I find the correct colour code on a 2006 Fiesta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Should be in your handbook? Failing that is there another ID plate under the bonnet? Are you getting the code from here....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza54 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Start by putting the reg number into fordetis.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobe17o Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Tried to get into fordetis. Gave up when they asked for my tax details to register!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Click on the "contact us" tab on chippex website and ask them to clarify. I did see that they list d2 as bright red, but your d2 code is definitely panther black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobe17o Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks Alan but I already found that site and it doesn't tell you where to look for the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobe17o Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Panther Black should do shouldn't it? On an 11 year old car? I am fitting a new front bumper and hoping to spray it first using aerosols. Does that sound feasible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'd say it should be fine mate, I had a 10 year old pearlescent black Clio and painted the front bumper using paint code and Halfords paints, and the match (and quality) were top notch, you'd never guess it was done with rattle cans, all I'd say is take your time and build up the coats thinly I did about 6coats (of colour) probably 2-3 coats of primer and lacquer it until you are happy with the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobe17o Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 That's just what I wanted to hear!! I will go at it with a little more confidence now. Thank you Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Glad to help mate, I'd advise the 1st coat of primer and first couple of coats of paint spray into the back of the bumper to ensure good coverage into the rear of the all the slots/grills so you don't over spray and risk the paint running. Are you from portobello? I'm not far, in west lothian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
