2 Paint codes?
Maybe a dumb question, but why are there 2 seperate, flip-flopped-named, paint codes for all the 1992 model SVXes?
At least based on the "Factory Paint Colors and Codes" pdf in the How-To Documents. For example: Dark Red Mica (Claret): 165 Claret (Dark Red Mica): 265 This is the case for every 92MY paint code, with the first one being one way, and the second flipping which name is in parenthesis. Every other color used from 1993 on just has one name/code. What is this all about?

Re: 2 Paint codes?
IIRC, the 1st code is how the particular color is referred to in the non-US markets.
The 2nd paint code is the name of that color in the US markets. Outside the US, there seems to be a fondness for colors with the word "Mica" in them... as in Swiss Ruby Mica. and in Australia, my beloved Polo Green Pearl is known as... You guessed it. BRIGHT GREEN MICA .
