Hi William
any paint shop worth their money should be able to look up the paint code for Buckingham Blue.
I put my car into a small independent body shop for a full colour code (grill, bumpers, door handles, side skirts etc....). I did not need to get the paint code as they had access to this kind of information. Look at the job they made:
I love it!

William have you tried the forum sponsor DCC 4X4 as they sell the same bits as Carstyling. The other company on the web to try is Powerful.co.uk - they have an ebay shop too. IIRC DCC do a proper chromed grille but they are very expensive
Finding the paint code for the car is easy - it's on the radiator top along with all the other warning stickers etc ,on the VIN plate
Stornoway Grey is LRC 907
The silver should be OK with any bright shiny silver so long as they spray the entire grille2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi Guys,
Thank you so much for the prompt reply. My problem is not the
BUCKINGHAM BLUE color code (LRC 796, Paint Code JGJ) but rather
the Silver finish on my color-coded front grille.
I need the code of that shiny SILVER finish. Paint shops here in Doha
are not impressive. They asked me for the Paint Code, maybe they will
be able to "mix it" for me
I also have the same problem with 22" STORMERS. They need some
maintenance. The same Paint Shops advised me that this is a rare paint
finish that is not available anywhere in this country
Any ideas?
