Vitara Engine Bay Paint Code ??

[maxaret]

I would like to try tidying up some of the underbonnet/inner wing paint/corrosion.
It is a flat/matt lightish blue/grey colour and I was just wondering if anybody has a paint code for it please ?
You can clearly see the corroded patches especially on the N/S inner wing.

If you want an exact duplicate call Suzuki UK and tell them your reg number, they'll tell you the paint name and code.

Thanks DC - sorry late reply,weather has been nice and we have been doing some long riverside walks (ooh my poor old ankles/knees ! )

Would Suzuki UK actually respond to a paint question related to a 15 year old car colour ?
Ours is the 2 tone Blue/Silver and I am not sure I ever found out a paint code for the Silver paint,I will have to check my notes LOL

I mean if you can call suzuki with a 30 year old reg number and get parts im sure they will be able to give you a paint code for a 15 year old car

It's funny Tim - I have owned lots of wildly different vehicles since 1971 and I have never contacted any manufacturers .
When I was working - I could just ask questions around the various departments and friends (we were always messing around with bikes and cars) - but of course in the last 15 years one can usually find out most things via Internet/Forums etc.
I will have to have a look at the Paint Code Plate again to see if I can glean any more info from it,it is almost 12 months since I had a look at it.
It would appear to be a fairly standard colour for engine bays - regardless of body colour.

Hello, are you sure we can see the corroded patches in particular?

Hi F39
Yes the corroded area is in front of the Battery/around the suspension mounting,it is a bit bigger than it looks from the photo as some of it is hidden by the coolant expansion/header tank bottle.

I had some free time today so looking in to this again.
I found this Aussie website with lots of Paint Code Info...

The closest I can see is Suzuki Medium Grey (OFM) in the underhood colour section.
It is not listed for my colour code (Z2U) but I guess the Aussie colour combinations might be slightly different.
