colourcode

I have a 6 week old company astra van..can anyone tell me where I can find
the colour code as the paperwork says it is glacier white buy this does not
match where I have touched up a scratch on the door.

Black sticker on inside of drivers door . Bottom left - letter and 3
numbers normally.

 

Paul,
Find your V.I.N plate, (on the door jam or on the slam panel
under the bonnet) Look for the 17 digit number. Below that you will
find letters and numbers. E.G N574 203.
The first "set"(N574) is your trim code, the next is your paint
code (203)
Take ALL numbers off the vin plate to ensure you get the correct
paint.
Hope this helps,

However Silver is a big problem as it wont match

 

There are 4 different star silvers for a start!

Glacier white does not usually vary so there may be a paint problem. If it
is right I would ask for a refund or a new touch-up pencil.

OK so why when I went into my local Vauxhall dealer quoting the colour code
Z151. The colour match was awful. I got my money back, went to another
Vauxhall dealer and they even came out and got the colour code from the
black label inside the drivers door pillar. They gave me L151. I questioned
this as it was not Z however was told to give it a try. Just the same very
bad colour match. What do you suggest is try. How do I get a correct colour
match?

I was told by the dealer that silver was very difficult to match. I have had
4 previous Vauxhalls, Red, White, Blue and Savannah, all these matched
perfectly from the colour code from the car.

What do you suggest as the stone chips currently look awful.
