a) I am not authorised to view that one (thread) apparently

 

B) The test patch was a perfect match !

 

 

Sorry about that, they are incorrect on the name ;)

GM is also known as Silverstone, mainly in the USA.

Yup and both have a code of WV2. Apparently there are 2 forumulatons for it too. Chips Away ended up mixing both to get the right match for mine. No matter what they call it, the code will get you the right paint, or at least it should. As you have seen a test patch then its all good :)

Well, for a diamond geezer, I suppose Diamond Graphite would be suitable :teeth:

 

 

aww shucks!! :blush::lol:

 

EDIT: It would appear 'Diamond Graphite' is the Nissan term for WV2 down under.

 

Cool, Diamond Graphite I stay ! :teeth:

I heard that Azure comes up as something else when you type in the B17 code. Can't remember exactly what it was but something like electric blue

It all depends on the paint manufacturer. I got a spray can mixed for me at a local auto paint suppliers who use a German supplier, and their name for WV2 was "Sparkling Silver". The match looks spot on, though.

There are actually two GM colours. Both with the code WV2, one with (light) after it and one with (dark) after it..... Be careful when having things painted ;):)
