Title: sill cover code
Post by: phil on Friday,November 25, 2016, 10:25:47 AM

Hello all,
Does anyone know the correct paint code for the cill covers on the Europa, I am planning on having mine re-finished as one has a deep scuff on it.

Thanks    Phil

In case nobody comes up with the real paint code, When I had mine done, I just chose a bright metal flake silver with the largest flakes you could get.

Has anyone with a black TCS painted their sill panels gold to match the pin stripes?

I've seen that. I think the guy also painted his wheels gold. It looked really nice!

I have a white TCS with gold pinstripes and matching sills and wheels.  I think the combination works well but I guess not for the purist.

Agreed, the white and gold look good.

I expect the black and gold would look good as well.

I am thinking of using silver sills and silver pin stripes with my Lagoon Blue car 4688R.

I have both gold and silver Minilite wheels so I can change as I wish for look, but the Yokohama tread patterns are different, wet, inter and dry.
