Silver frost paint code

Could someone tell me the paint code for a 1990 se in silver please
Just had someone repair a scuff on the rear 1/4 and bumper and he may as well have painted it red

See the wiki under Paint Codes.

But don't ask them to spray it to the paint code ask them to match your car.

:agree:

I had a similar experience recently with BRG. Fortunately, I’d asked to see the paint before they started spraying and was able to prevent a disaster. And then the lockdown came . . .

I hope that they didn't charge you for that, it's not even close.
Unless of course you instructed them to paint it that colour?

The bumper shadow is almost closer to the silver frost colour than their attempt, indeed!
