Aldeburgh Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi, After forty years of driving other things I've just got my first Subaru. It's a 2007 Outback 3.0 with just over 100k on the clock. First impressions are great - really impressed with the way it handles (and the "Go Faster" button on the steering wheel). I hope to be able to contribute to the forums once I know a bit more about the car but I'll start with a question. What colour is it? It looks silvery but says Grey on the V5. I can't find a paint code anywhere on it. There are a lot of minor dings/scratches that need sorting out so I want to get the correct colour. Have added a picture if it helps. Many thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Welcome to the club, https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.automotivetouchup.com/paint-codes/subaru.htm&ved=0ahUKEwiOzvrqhoLXAhVFPFAKHf04B14QFggpMAI&usg=AOvVaw0Pmr1iSxKC2DbDJ0iKs5X1 Hope this helps with the paint code 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeburgh Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks. It looks as though that label is missing from my car. I can see where it should be on the strut tops but there's nothing there (or on the doors). I wonder if Subaru could tell from the VIN.

stuartie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 No problem buddy i would think subaru should be able to tell you with the vin also think a bodyshop should be able to match the paint with the vin aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldeburgh Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks, based on that it looks like it may well be Urban Grey. Nice to know there's at least one more around locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeburgh Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Kudos to Subaru - they've come back already with the colour and it's Steel Silver Metallic which isn't one of those mentioned in the brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
