Indentifying original color

[Leesfer]

I am trying to figure out the exact original color of my car, does anyone know where the color of the car is labeled?

And also does anyone happen to have a list of all the colors the fiats came in?

[So Cal Mark]

I think it was in the trunk on your car

[Leesfer]

Was it on the trunk lid? There is a place where a sticker used to be... I hope that is not what is missing

But there are parts of the car where the original color still shows, its possible for the paintshop to match no doubt

[mdrburchette]

On the early cars they stamped the paint code on the identification tag mounted on the firewall. Most automotive paint stores would have a book with the color swatches.

[So Cal Mark]

paint stores now have computer matching equipment and can match paint perfectly

? works for me , anyone else problems with the link ?

[Leesfer]

When I click the link, the page says "Sorry - the translations will follow soon "

Perhaps I need a fiatspider.de account?

[Tappy]

works for me , i have no account there maybe your browser is set on translate automaticly ?


If only somone else could try (anyone , pls help us ), we could say if the problem is with your pc or not

[mdrburchette]

It does the same for me. It must be set for "foreign" computers only.

you can click on the German flag... I think most of the stuff you need will be written in english. If not you can use a web translator.

Thanks much!

Strange though, my color doesn't match any of those...

What I can see of the original looks a lot like this car:
