No such thing as color code.

My thorium grey code is M9H, but whole penang don't know what is M9H.

At last I took my fuel cover for matching.

Even same code, spray methode, angle, pattern, clear coat thickness all affect color and shine.

So, find a reputable paint shop, will get better result, but wont be as smooth as the Stock bumper color.

That's why I still live with my spider scratches for 1 year.

It should be MO TS or ETSC according to one website.
The paint information should be on your car, you can confirm by looking for it as mentioned in this website.

You may want to check with your SA and I was also told by my SA only some paint shops have the paint.

i have spoken to a shop near volvo & ks at Jln Chan Sow Lin in KL. they know how to mix the paint using the colour code. but unfortunately, they would not mix a 1 litre bottle for me. so my thoriumG brothers, tough luck! unless u go there & get an entire door / panel sprayed. if u do, get them to do an extra 1 litre bottle.

i also have to live with a few scratches from ppl's door opening into mine + motorcycle crashed into my bumper. just live with it. it won't be a new car for long anyway. last thing u want is a two tone grey.
