Paint code

Post by Sam4dr »

Can anyone tell me what colour my car is? The paint code is H0, its a 1980 and all I can find online is gold metallic, and the sticker in the boot by the spare wheel just says gold metallic, but which gold :roll: cheers :)

Hi,
Welcome to the forum! :welcome:
I've looked up the paint code H0 and the colour of your car appears to be Solar Gold.
Before you splash the cash on some paint, check online and compare the colour of your car to other solar gold Capris. Alternatively, you could post a photo of your car on here for positive identification. We love a photo of a nice Capri on this forum! :D
:goodluck:

Andrew.

Very nice indeed!
It looks to me like it is Solar Gold, I'm sure other members will confirm.

Hi,
looks like solar gold to me too.
Is there some XSC code on sticker in boot?

Or try body plate decoder. What is on position 73 on your body plate?

Hi Tom, position 73 just has H which doesn't have a gold in the decoder column that's why I was unsure.

I see! Ok.
And no XSC code on sticker in boot, right?
Solar gold should be XSC 1366.
