Tagged as ive chipped my rear bumper. yeah i KNOW it has reversing detectors!)

 

I bought a touch up kit via Bellingers at my last service it was only about 8 quid from memory. It consists of 2 items, the colour and clear lacquer. Cheaper than buying a similar thing from Halfords?

 

Blimey thats cheap, I will enquire about price when I take the car for its service in 2 weeks, I was expecting mega bucks. If all else fails I will try these people Vauxhall Ampera Crystal Red GBE Touch Up Paint
The codes are the same for my car but its listed as Crystal Claret not Crystal Red, I have emailed to check as I know there can be problems matching colours.

 

My touch up came with a different name to the car (Summit White) but it is the same code..

 

Thanks @h8ten, good to know.

 

My genuine GM Opel/Vauxhall touch-up (car is metallic "Crystal Red") has the following inscribed on the front cardboard:

impulsrot met.
cardinal red met.
rouge cardinal met.
1 # 95599004
GR.8.769
17 66 107

Supplied by Bellingers.

 

did you find out which code on the plate is the paint code?

I have the same problem, and I can't find it
I know 03E is trim color

 

I think it's U8624 for me = WA8624, aka Olimpic White

 

That could be the same as mine. Mine is called Summit White (it was the second cheapest colour choice when the car was new, black was the only no-cost colour) and the Touch up has:-
Opel/Vauxhall
schneeweiss 40R
olympic white 40R
blanc glacier 40R
1 # 93165427
GR.8.769
17 66 0866
The pack has both the white and the lacquer.

 

Yes, summit white is the same

 

Was trying to work out which colour white I had and I found this which helps decode the Service Parts Identification label a bit.

So on mine, the lowest line says BC/CC U8624 03E

which translates to Base coat & Clear coat Body colour paint code U8624 and Interior trim colour/level 03E

This site will help you convert the five character body paint code to something useful or you can just google it

Mine doesn't have any information in the sticker about the paint colour, I know it's Lithium White but I find it odd that there is no code there. It's a 2012.

Can you post a photo of your label?

 

Lithium White is 800J according to this site. I have had a rake around and it comes up also with WA800J. Although according to this site it should be a 4 character/number reference. Chevrolet also has this colour code as Diamond White, which is a tri-coat. Both Lithium White and Crystal Red were the only Ampera tri-coat colours.

 

The 3 stick set includes a primer, possibly to bulk up chips so that the final clearcoat is level with the existing finish. I've yet to find a non-brilliant white touch-up that is a perfect match and even then on my Summit white I think it was only the glare of the sun that stopped you noticing touch-ups.

 

This doesn't help with the paint, I also found this full list of the RPO* codes that appear in the main part of the label. I checked my 03E trim code and it seems to be right: 03E TRIM COLOR SEAT CERAMIC WHITE/JET BLACK

*Regular Production Option

Great link, already saved. So I have checked every code (why wouldn't I? 😄) and I have in the sticker GBN that matches with PRIMARY COLOR EXTERIOR, WHITE DIAMOND TRICOAT (G) and country Netherlands (CT5) that was where the car was first registered, makes sense. GB* codes seems to be exterior paint.

PCW, VRH and 5GM seems to have no match on that PDF, all the rest is on point.
