Which, incase anyone is as stupid as me, also contains the weight of the car, the chassis number and the trim code.
The colour code will be the 3/4 digit number before the trim code which begins with xx and has two digits after it.
I think... thats what I found anyway.

may be quite hard on a deep long scratch . personnally i wouldnt use the brush that comes with the paint as it puts it on too thick . go a paint shop and ak for a small brush , size 00 ( double zero ) this brush is tiny and if you have a steady hand might just be able to paint the scratch line rather than the paint that isnt marked too . good luck whichever way you try
