Most Common OEM Paint Codes for Opel and Recommended Touch-Up Procedure:

| Z190 / GAL (Technical Grey) | Technical Grey Metallic (2K Metallic Paint) | Darker 2K metallic: when repairing scratches, degrease with silicone remover, wet-sand with P2000 grit, and apply a basecoat spray + 2K high-gloss clearcoat kit. |
