See my post 2 here What's my bumper trim color code?

355, Diamond blue metallic. It is stamped twice because one is body and one is hardtop. There was a time when the hardtop could be another color.

If you are referring to my chart,at the top:

Code Color (* = metallic)

355 diamond blue (diamintblau)*

Metallic paints are base coat and clear coat (two stage). Other like signal red are single stage. No clear coat.
