[Mk2] [NA] So,just what colour IS my car...??

[xpeterpx]

I have a paint code of 742.Its a Rev1 Import if that helps...To me my car looks sort of Goodwood Green,but looks dark blue in certain lights and this caused some debate as some seem to think its a certain blue and some a certain green..
Can anyone give me a definite answer incase I need to buy some paint in future!

Cheers
Pete

Pic of car would help

But the paint code reminds me of mine.....which is aquamarine

742 Teal / Aquamarine.

Not to be confused with 746 Turquoise Mica Pearl (the light blue green Aquamarine used on slightly later MR2's)

Take your choice, though I would say the import which we had in the family we thought of as Aleutian blue

I'd say it looks pink to me mate

...huh?

Personally I've never seen 742 listed as Aqua Pearl (codes I have say 746 for Aqua Pearl). I have a 1L Tin of Standox 742 base coat and I'm sure it's more like very dark Turquoise.

I'm not sure whether you're allowed to post tins of paint but I can wrap it so the lid'll never come off and send it to you if you like. Just let me know where to send it, it's no use to me as I bought it when I was trying to figure out paint codes for mine. That'll save you a good few quid but I don't know if it'll match the sub codes.
