Sophia White W09 or WA9

[jnava]

I've been doing some digging and I'm confused on what I thought my car exterior color was summit white. Even the 91 color code brochure shows sophia white. A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I'll post up the color codes from my PPG computer later today!

Also I think there is a big thread on this if you do a search! +color +codes

I used to spray with Binks but it was a chemical coatings at the time with a 2.5 gallon tank. Plus they are expensive as hell, has anyone tried a good alternative hvlp gravity fed guns that doesn't kill your wallet?

 

[rdomeck]

I use Sata guns. They are expensive, but the work really well. The ones you pick up from Lowes or Harbour Freight are copies of the Sata's. If you are spraying your whole car I would by a used Sata on Ebay and sell it when you are done. The price you pay for paint materials makes it worth buying a good gun. If you have to respray you end up spending more money in materials than what a new Sata cost!

That's been the overall point. Paint it using the right gun plus prepping is a major process that decides whether you will do it again. Sata and Iwata came up too. This is going to be fun.

1989-92 Colts/Mirages use W09 and it is Sophia White.
You got my attention on this one.

Searched using +paint +codes and found the W09 listing for Sophia White.

I'll try and remember to check the computer in the morning when I get in and see what it offers.

The sophia white paint were used for jdm/eudm released vr4. And usdm vr4's were painted summit white.

So is W09 the code from summit white?

My computer didn't show anything for WA9......It did call W09 Sophia white and Summit White. It did also list it as a good code from 1988 on.

I can't seem to be able to attach the PDF that I scanned of the label. I could probably email it to you if you want?

 

[jnava]

There is conflicting information....that's why this thread was made. I found sites that sell summit white with w09 code so I might go that route..

 

[jnava]

Send it...I would appreciate it.

 

[rdomeck]

Alright, I did a screen capture and was able to upload that.....

 

[jnava]

So its the same..... both Sophia white and summit white share the same code. I knew something was up and thank you sir. I'm already trying to track down a sata 2000.

Belize green and Hannover green are the same thing too. Both G31

You will find that in most places you look for the paint as well, there can be several names for the paint and as long as they share the same paint code you are good.
