If you look here there is a document called 'paint colour codes.doc' -
http://www.rtoc.org/files/?path=Miscellaneous/

If you look here, there's a diagram of where on the plate the codes appear:

The search function on RTOC is ace ;)

Type in paint codes and search through the results. There's loads of info. This thread has all the GTT colours except the ones you're looking for, d/oh!

There were quite a few different Tungy GTT paint shades however (all different codes), as shown in the document. So you may need to pick one if you don't have the original plate to get the your particular code from.

Not very useful links those Trev :cooter:
Tungsten grey (Gris tungstene) - 608, various shades depending on paint brands, generally grey or grey/green tint. Earlier are greener, shade 1 '88, 2 '89, 3 '90, 4 and 5 '92 so depends on if you going for what you like or original (I presume 2 tone?)
Silver - I can't remember this as only did one but I think ph1 was 620, do double check though

:D

Contrary (or in addition to) the link above and what Haz says ref Ph1 silver, AFAIK it's definitely 610. Certainly my early Ph1 was 610. :laugh:

Could be, it was a guess 👍 for colours like tungy and sport blue (raider) you can only use original to look right but the likes of silver, black, white there's so many variations, not just in the Renault range of colours but others to which may be a nicer choice if not trying to keep the car original. There are light to dark but also have tiny to large flakes, generally newer colours have tiny flakes. Vauxhall star silver sparkles more and flakey, Renault iceberg has tiny flakes but can hurt your eyes in bright sun. Lots of choice.

Ace :)

Incidentally, I just looked in that Word document for your paint code and it doesn't appear! Typical French. Eighteen different tungy shades, half of which don't appear on their own swatch listing :laugh:
