Stumps 311 Posted May 28, 2014 Been trawling the net quite a bit for any images of the following colour but I've had no luck Paint code : Q Year : 1979 I believe it is called nutmeg, it is a metallic brown that was available on XD falcon's and looks similar the Walnut glow found on earlier falcon's If any one has some pics or can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

bear351c 10,270 Posted May 28, 2014 Hmmm......not sure. On the XA, paint code "Q" is Yellow Fire, (I think) Any chance of a photo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumps 311 Posted May 28, 2014 Sadly no I don't as the car was stripped and put into primer many many moons ago even tried rubbing back the primer in spots to see if it was under there, to no avail...I have a fair idea of what it the colour looks like but just want to confirm before forking out to get the car resprayed, I'm pretty sure it is a medium to dark metallic brown colour. I just want a few pics to confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macman 774 Posted May 29, 2014 One of the best colours for an XD S-pack IMO When it's 25+ years old and faded it looks like poop but when it's fresh it is incredibly deep, sparkly, luscious! Best examples I've got... 1 wagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
