Hi,
how do I find out what colour paint I need for touching up?
Under the bonnet is a plaque with the following entries
F long number M long number (chassis number?) W number kg B number kg AU number kg DI number kg S DAW
I wrote them down and went into my local independent car shop but none of the numbers on the plaque match any of the codes in the paint catalogue.
I couldn't find any other plaques, maybe I will have to go to a main dealer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

if this is an EU vehicle the DI you mention should be D1
D = Machine Silver
1 = 2001ford part no. 1320171 - touch up stick or part no. 1307254 - aerosol

Thanks, yes machine silver it is - thank you, but it was registered in
2004 so I have a dodge car or is that the date when the colour was introduced.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
