Hello 

Could some one out there tell me what the three numbers are at the beginning of the paint code on my torana - reads 567-12186

Thanks

The first digit "5" signifies "Dulon" ("Duco" codes all started with "2" and I can't remember the others off hand). I think the second digit identifies the finish (gloss, satin, etc), and the third identifies whether it's a solid or a metallic colour?

 

As above: 567-xxxxx are all metallic colours with a gloss finish; 568-xxxxx are all solid colours with a gloss finish; and 578-xxxxx are solid colours with a satin finish.

 

There were many others but I think those are the only ones that relate to a Torana.
