I'm in the middle of a dispute with the bodyshop that is painting my Sprint. Basically, when it went in it was the typical silver that the Sprints were painted in the factory but it has now been painted gold. I asked for it to be kept the original colour so I'm now experiencing various emotions, annoyance being a recurring theme :rant: They used the paint code on the understand of the bonnet AR 755/AF Grigio Nisida but I need to be sure this was the correct code in the first place. They are suggesting that the bonnet was off another car and the attached code incorrect for my car and not their fault. I disagree.

Please could any silver Sprint/Sud owners send me a pic along with their paint code so I may argue my case or otherwise?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Too right. I think the main problem is the difference between Alfasud enthusiasts (us) and indifferent paint shops . We know how Suds/Sprints were in the 80's, paint shops think that anything silver like will do. Bottom line is that if it matches the original colour (in the engine bay for example) then it's the correct colour (in my case).

We seem to have struck a deal...the paint shop have agreed to respray my Sprint and I have agreed to pay for the paint along with a little cash bung. Paint arrived today and checked. The crucial point is that they do a quality job which means doors and hatch off again and I feel assured that they will...we'll see! ?
