Paint Codes

All auto colours now come under the banner of PPG Industries and are marketed by NEXA AUTOCOLOUR. The table which I had prepared from Original XK, was filled in by Mr Adrian Murphy and his staff, who provided current codes to match the originals. This will enable restorers to quote a paint code to specify the original colours for their cars.
