There are a two color codes on the SVX as well as two tints. One tint has the green speckles and the other red speckles when you look closely. Please enter what you have on this poll. Thanks

Where's the option for a dealer repaint with the legacy ebony mica paint code?

I have that on my svx - always windered why mine looked to have more red in it than others until someone with a legacy painted that color pointed it out to me.

If you are in the sun, look deep into the paint and you will see some flecks or flakes of green or red (tint) to it. You have to get the right light.

Mine is 235 and half red, half green thanks to an inaccurate paint match.

Mine is 235 on the plate, and the paint has red tint deep in the colour.

I am disappointed that two people seem to have code 235, but yet have green mica flakes.

Having the same code with different substrate makes no sense to me. That means if I get a wing damaged, and want to get it sprayed, there is a 50/50 chance the shop will make up and send the panelbeater the green mixed paint to put on my red painted car.

This seems to have happened to GREEN1995.

At the risk of sounding whiny, are the two guys with the green flecks sure they have checked the paint code on the vin plate before voting?? And the code is not actually 235, but either 135, or else 235/035?

Joe
