I tried to find more info about the blue color searching in the forum but without success. I have a few questions:
- on my plate the color code is RAT but in the Factory Service Manual it is BRAT. What is the difference?
- in the Factory Service Manual the paint type is 3PM: 3-Coat pearl metallic - does it mean that the first (base) coat is blue metallic, then the second coat is pearl coat and the third one is the clear coat? Or it means that there are two coats with different type of pearls/metallic micro particles over the base coat?
- what pearls are used - Candy Pearls(pigmented) or Ghost pearls(not pigmented)?
I am asking because my local paint shop can not match the paint. Their paint job looks like more cold blue having one type of white/translucent pearls and the original paint seems more warm/green blue with two types of pearls - white/translucent and green ones.
