Postby Red_Bullet » Wed Oct 18, 2017 12:46 pm

I just picked up a hardtop, it's silver with demisted rear window. Original colour. Seller reckons it was from an NA. what was paint code for silver NA. I need to get some touch up paint.

> can anyone chime in with when heated rear window's were introduced? was that part way through NA?


Does the hardtop match the car colour? If it does, then there will be a paint code on the manufacture plate on the firewall. Probably "3L".


Otherwise, some links that might help;

Thanks folks! No it doesn't match the car colour, car is red with silver wheels, sometimes black wheels, anyway I can live with a silver top on a red car, it kinda grows on you.
