    can anyone with a white or red sprinter, please give me the piant codes off the build plate?. In some cases, it might be a separate foil sticker with the paint name or code on it. I am repainting my old race sprinters from bare metal, and would like to get the colours as correct as possible. thanks

    Hi

    I have just gone down to the shed and checked my paint code on my white hatch. It is #041. It also has a blue hue to it as you have stated. Just for reference it is a 02/85 and is still original paint (i have had it for 16 years) so I guess that is what you are chasing. Any other help needed just let me know.

    Cheers

    Todd

    thanks guys, I've found the original build plate locked in the safe. it was taken off years ago. The white is 038 code & luckily, thats the one I ordered . Dulux came to the rescue with old info. it seems that was the most common white on imported sprinters, but was not common on other models sold here . The red bumpers turned out to be 3E6. 3D7 was listed at the paint shop. thanks again.
