Engine: 2.1 Carb B21A: Volvo Colour Code to RAL / RGB

[MartinMarkov]

Good evening, I aspire to comletely refurbish my 1979 244. Currently I'm struggling the exact RAL or RGB code of the paint. According to the shield on the door the color code is "136-1 Kingsmire green metallic". Do you the RAL or RGB equivilant? It'd be great as I don't find any infos on the internet. Thanks, best regards and happy holidays! martin

Most auto paint suppliers would have the formula for the Volvo pallet in their paint mixing machine/computer .
They can match the colour to the original, but be aware that the colour on will change with age.
If necessary the petrol flap could be sent as an indicator to true colour and spray outs could give a perfect match.
It's also called Cyprus Green.

That is right Bob. DuPont was the paint supplier to Volvo back in the day, so finding the original paint mix would not be difficult, but that would not account for 40 years of ageing and UV light. It would be much better to have a paint shop scan and match the paint now, not the colour it was 40 years ago.
