Hi
I am about to start repainting my p5b coupe 1971. The car had been partly renovated when i got it and had been repsprayed in one colour. The clour is light grey very similiar to the colour of the car on Feb p5 mag cover. Does any body now the code of the name of the colour.
Many Thanks Karl

Glenn's right it could well be Silver Birch.
The paint make up code is available for this colour on this site.
If the car is a saloon then it would be the same colour all over, but if a coupe it could have a darker colour like Burnt Grey on it's roof.

If it is Silver Birch, which is the best colour for a P5, the coach line is Burnt Grey.
If the roof is Burnt Grey the line will be Silver Birch. Coupes were one colour only by order.

Highly contraversial cooment abot being the best colour - are you not a little biased?
I agree it looks good on Coupe but notat all good on Saloons - I prefer Admiralty blue for saloons whick looks even better on Coupes with a Slver Birch roof

of course I am biased !
The huge advantage of Silver Birch is that if you are too enthusiastic with polishing the undercoat is virtually the same colour

Dual tone paint was an optional extra. Single tone paint was standard on the coupes.
