Hi Peter, According to my 1987 color chart:
900 = Deep Blue (non metallic) 904 = Midnight Blue (non metallic) 929 = Nautical Blue (metallic) looking at the sample color chips on my chart, the 929 is slightly lighter than the 900, but not drastically. I'd guess it's your eyes deceiving you, or it might be some fading over the past 18 years. There is no code 930 that year. On a side note, my car is 904 (Midnight Blue), which everyone mistakes for black except maybe in full sunlight. I don't know how many times I've been asked 'hey, is that your black BMW out there?' me: 'Uh, if you mean the blue Mercedes, why yes it is...' :-) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 19:15:16 -0400 > From: Peter Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [MBZ] Paint Codes > > My 1987 300SDL is in my eyes a deep Blue.
