Alright, here's the deal, Bro....I went by my paint shop and asked for the code. My guy told me this, "all the codes are different. It depends on what company you go with to paint your car."

I went with Glasurit. (single stage) like factory. He said it's like going to Home Depot and saying you want Agave green. then the guy asks you if you are going to use Glidden, Sherwin Williams...etc. I'm sure you get the idea. If you go to any paint shop, all you really have to do is choose the company you'd like to use and give them the L240 and they will have the code available for you. I wish i could be of more assistance. I had forgotten that I got Glasurit, and i have the code for that somewhere. I could still try to find that but it wouldnt work if you didnt use that company.

My paint came out nice, it's about middle of the line. It's not the cheapest, but it's also not crazy money. Again, I went with the single stage aswell.

LMK if you still want the code for Glasurit, i'll try to get it for you.

i am going to use glasurit single stage. pricey stuff though. to go from clean metal to finished product, its almost $800 for materials.

yeh, when i asked my paint guy he said that you would choke when you heard the price for materials. I did too. but, it's what i wanted.

As i said before i also went from bare metal, i had the car plastic media blasted and then went with single stage Glasurit. I was real happy with it.

If you do a search, you can find my car. i havent waxed it yet. it's still chillin from the paint shop. so i'm sure it'll get a little better. but i would recommoned it for sure. i'm real happy with results.
