Iv'e always been lead to believe that my 85o is dark grey pearl .............. taken from wiki .......
The new car, based on the T-5R, was called the 850 R, which again came in either saloon or sport wagon editions. The only colours available were Bright Red, Black Stone, Dark Grey Pearl, Dark Olive Pearl, Turquoise Pearl and Polar White. In the U.S. market only Bright Red, Polar White and Black Stone were available.
Now reading the vin number and looking through Volvo paint codes , mine reads 427-21 .... Graphite gray metallic , Herberts , Solvent based .
I'm looking into buying a couple of cans of paint , iv'e got to go with what the vin plate says you'd think hey ?
Any thoughts 🤔
