Even if you go by the paint code its very difficult for the body shop to mix pearl paint to match exactly... they usually have paint around the area as well to blend it all in

there are 7 different varitions of the WK0
WK0
WK0/1
WK0/2
WK0/3
WK0/4
WK0/5
WK0/Y

WK0/3 is black pearl apparently

paint is £8.99 for touch up and £12.99 for rattle can and they have to be made to order so could be very pricey to get it right with trial and error

someone must know the corect code??

What does it say on your vin plate? Surely that will be the one your after??!

Where are you geting the paint from? You wont be able to match a pearl properly, even if it is the right code.

I had my JDM front and rear bar and side skirts all repainted and they where matched perfectly by my panel shop.

The code on my VIN plate is WKO. Once they have the code, if you have a decent spray painter, he will make adjustments to get the colour match.

I left my car there for a day as they said the colour code was not enough to get the exact match.

it was just WK0 in the end, the person in halfords was being a mong and confusing the hell out of me.

my car is going in monday for paint on front bumper, dent in bonnet and skirts

but i have no skirts for the job as mine are to far away from fitting. i may have to get another set, they looks as if there designed for a different S body, maybe a s14. i just got given them with my car. gonna get onto epracing on monday.

unless there open tomoro? in which case i will drive to pick em up

Cheers for the help peops
