Now i know this has been done millions of times before, and having done a search i have come up with the code 613/A as the le paint code. I am currently at halfords with this code and they have 4 or 5 different variants of this paint under fiat. I did a search under alfa romeo and it came up with only 1 paint, however i got a test pot mixed and it looked way too dark. Please can someone give me anymore info/ the full paint code and manufacturer. Thanks in advance, Matt

I have 613 and isn't the same as the LE titanium. I think 613 is grigio titanio. Its slightly darker.

I have gone for 613/94 grigio titanio met. Its for a light cup so if it is too dark then i will have to do all 4. Cheers sugerbear

Matt, was the 613/94 grigio titanio met the correct colour? I want to have the centre console sprayed in the LE colour, so I need the correct paint code.

It was pretty dam close. I used it on my rear light and it is very slightly darker but this could be because of fading over time. From a distance it looks the same as the other rings.

Hmmmm, wonder what this will look like on the centre console then...

It should be 613A ? Halfords should have the paint code book with the colour swatches in it. Look for 613A and then take it outside to the car and check.

Halfords have got about 10 paint codes called 613A all under Fiat and all grigio titano met

And do they have the colour book too ? It had all the little colour cards with holes in them so you can put it over the paint and find the correct one.

They didn't have that in my local Halfords. Good tip for anyone else looking though

you have two choices. either find a local paint supplier that can do aerosols and ask to borrow their paint match sheets and match it yourself.

Send an item to paints4u.com (petrol cap would be a good place to start) and they will try to match it, i think the service is about £30 which includes one can of spray. for that they also give you a reference number and if the match is good there is no reason why you couldn't order a few more and arrange a group buy to cover the initial cost.

I would have done this myself but I may be moving on from my LE so not much point.

Moving on from an LE ?! Don't you mean downgrading from an LE ?

That is what I think he meant to type.

As soon as its gone I will get myself checked into the betty ford clinic. Once they have got me out of the gimp suit I can go 'cold turkey' for a few months/years.

I checked with my friend for Spies Hecker color base. They have only one option for Fiat 613 - it's called titanio and should be grey )

I will try it next week and post some report )))

Any news on this?

It seems the code is either 613/A or 613/94 grigio titanio met.

Bump.

PPG 227649 Grigio Titanio or Fiat FI551-89 Grigio (I bought it in Standox with no problem)

Do you have the standox colour code ? Could you take a photo of the label on the can so I could show it to a paint supplier.

The problem I have with the uk suppliers is that when I search on the standox website standox.co.uk I cant find a 551-89 paint code or the ppg colour.

Also PPG colours are only supplied in two pack colours which means unless I am a commercial sprayer I cant get the paint supplied in a can.

I think what most LE want (well me at least) is a can of LE paint in a spray can. I havn't found a supplier that can do that as yet without colour matching the paint.

I think, this is Fiat 551 colour, but I will check in standox..

Seeing as I have money to burn I have ordered a can of 551 beige-shore from paint 4u. I will let everyone know if its a weird naming convention (ie beige in italian means titanium !) or if it really is beige

Hmm.. year is essential maybe.. Here is picture.. http://www.autods.net/titanium_le.jpg

Next pic from Standox..

Fiat 551 Beige Shave Mica (1998)

Fingers crossed this is the actual colour. All exterior titanium parts have been resprayed and are much darker...will have to get them done again.

Interested to see any results?

I have bottom part of the PIU rear bumper painted to Fiat 551 Beige Shave Mica (1998) and colour match is really good.

Can't wait to see if it does match

I have the paint and "beige shore met" is indeed a silvery titanium colour and NOT a beige colour at all !

Just put a couple of light coats onto a light surround so as soon as its dried (and its stopped raining!) I will do a comparison.

are the titanium ( or beige ) bits lacquered ?

oooohhhh.... its very very very close... very very very close. the closest match I have seen so far !!!

So 551 Beige Shore Metallic seems like a very good choice.

I am going to order a few more from the local refinishers.

Once a second coat is on and the lacquer i will take some photos.
