ALFA ROMEO car paint

When you get back from shopping, you find a big scratch on your door in the parking lot. Do not panic, you can repair the damage yourself by looking for the Italian car colour codes on specific locations of your vehicle.
Alfa Romeo colours are mainly pearl-based metallic colours, in the form of paint covered with a topcoat.

You can repair your Alfa Romeo paintwork using the colour code, the process is quite simple and can be done at home, even without being a professional bodybuilder. First of all, it will be a question of ordering the paint in a specialized store or in an online store, capable of carrying out the formula of the Alfa Romeo color code.

Then, the two phases of the painting are carried out easily and quickly, with the first stage of the metallic 1K basecoat, in a few thin and repeated layers, until obtaining the coverage of the bottom, followed quickly by the layer of topcoat, which provides shine and protection, both of the paint, the colours and the metal support of the bodywork, against corrosion, scratches and discolouration.

The car colour codes of ALFA ROMEO

The shades of the Italian brand are famous in particular for their deep reds.

It is sometimes difficult to find the vehicle plate where the paint references are engraved. When this plate is found in certain places on the bodywork, for example inside the bonnet (see the following paragraph on this subject), you can then find different series of numbers which can be confusing.
To find the right reference that corresponds to the original vehicule colour, you have to look at the format of the colour code, which usually consists of three to four alphanumeric characters.

Some Alfa Romeo colour codes may be similar to colour codes belonging to other brands. It is for this reason that a colour code is always accompanied by a colourimetric designation, which takes the form of two to three words.
Example : 093A BORDEAUX
Thus, with this double system of colour code followed by a colour name, the entire international colour classification system of the various car manufacturers makes it possible to organise both the choice of colours, and to avoid errors or confusion.

The history of the manufacturer ALFA ROMEO

The legendary Italian firm was born on June 24, 1910. Alpha is the Italian acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili.
Since its creation, the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo has been widely involved in motor racing. It participated in many legendary races and won many trophies. The Italian manufacturer has always shown a certain charisma and a very marked creative spirit, with vehicles of unique design, combining both aesthetics and cutting-edge mechanics. In 1910, a four-cylinder engine with a 4-Litre displacement was produced. Of course, a far cry from today's modern vehicles, this big engine delivered 42 horsepower. However, this extraordinary vehicle for the time reached a speed of 100 km/h.
As with other car brands, it was after the Second World War that the explosion of the industry took place, with the accessibility of modern cars to the general public. For the past 20 years, Alfa Romeo has built an image of a refined and sporty car, originating in a country specialising in high-performance cars.
