	The paint code number is often stamped in the lower left corner of the vehicle identification plate fixed to the wheelarch in the front engine compartment, if your car does not have this code present, Lotus Customer Service (01953 6080000) will be able to tell you the colour code if you quote your VIN in full.		The paint code number is often stamped in the lower left corner of the vehicle identification plate fixed to the wheelarch in the front engine compartment, if your car does not have this code present, Lotus Customer Service (01953 6080000) will be able to tell you the colour code if you quote your VIN in full.
		+
		+	These words of wisdom were proffered by SyV on LEC on 31 March 2005 about a NMY car:
		+
		+	'''''It's Norfolk Mustard and the paint code is...
		+
		+	'''''The paint code is stamped in the lower left corner of the VIN plate on earlier cars, and is printed on the VIN plate of later cars, located either beside the bonnet striker plate or in the left-hand front wheelarch. An "option code" may also be included. The paint code identifies the type and colour of paint used in manufacture, and should be referred to before commencing any paint repairs.
		+
		+	'''''Pre-June 1991, all cars were painted using ICI 2-pack acrylic polyurethane materials, including a P240 (mono) or P421 (metallic) hardened colour coat. On top of all this, a clear coat of laquer is sprayed on, followed by flattening and polishing.
		+
		+	'''''From June 1991 (VIN: M 8080,8082,8083,8086,8091,8100,8103 to 8107 and 8110 onwards), all cars use a Du-Pont basecoat and clear acrylic enamel paint system.
		+
		+	''''''A' prefixed paint code = ICI paint
		+
		+	''''''B' prefixed paint code = Du-Pont paint...ICI
		+
		+	'''''A64 IAOB
		+
		+	'''''ICI part P420WD55
		+
		+	'''''Lotus Part A100B6192V
		+
		+	'''''Du-Pont
		+
		+	'''''B05 IAOB
		+
		+	'''''Du-Pont part ABN9144
		+
		+	'''''Lotus Part A100B6237V
