Platana Grey Paint Options Posted by Daven [Email] (#290) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Daven) on Tue, 7 Oct 2014 11:43:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hey all!
I am the proud new owner of a 1991 9000 turbo in Platana Grey. It is a beautiful car, in great condition and from a loving home. I have been dying to own a car like this since my red 1991 was totaled in an accident over 10 years ago.
I always loved this car in grey and vowed that if I ever owned one I'd paint the bumpers to match the car the way the 1991 in other colors left from the factory. That may be easier said than done as the exact paint (Platana Grey Metallic Clearcoat #228) is both hard to find and extremely expensive ($60/12ounces). I thought the SEM bumper paint I used on my SPG kit was expensive but the prices on these foreign websites for Platana Grey is absurd.
Has anyone found a good source for this or other SAAB specific colors?
Has anyone had any luck going to a NAPA store (or anywhere for that matter) that has a hand-held color matching instrument and finding an alternative paint that almost matched?
Thanks very much!
