guys, just need some confirmation on a paint colour. this is for a 2000 model CE / MR Coupe , the colour is white and the paint code found out of 2 different numbers is WB8 even though the plate states WB8C. the mitubishi name of this white is Scotia White. is this the only white mitsubishi colour for this year model ?
 
my car is scotia white, so i assume ithe the right code
 
Im sure someone will be able to help. My guess would be that the 'c' might mean a clearcoat has been added.

thanks Res, just wanted to be sure before i picked up the can from the shop and wacked it into the gun. d3x, sounds like the C could have been for Clearcote but i don,t think clearcote is used on plain colours, mainly metallics. thanks.

Skippy, thats even more assuring mate. looks like my colour code is the W83 BC. this can get very confusing when you look under the bonnet and see 2 x seperate code plates ie; 1x on firewall and 1 x under bonnet, the BC is on firewall area and the other is under bonnet. why don,t they just keep it in one [ 1 ] plated area i don,t know. many thanks.
 
Its got something to do with Local paint code, and international paint code, i think local is BC, and international is W83

the BC code must be the international code as the paint guys only had record of the WB8 so local australia it must be. thanks.
