Saab car color codes

All modern colours, i.e. paints that coat vehicles after 2000, are colors with a metallic or pearl effect. This necessarily implies the formulation in paint of the “matt base to varnish” version.
No "direct gloss" type paint can work well for a shade of this type.

The Saab paints we offer are solvent-based versions. Unlike the water-based paints offered by body painters, they offer many advantages and avoid many disadvantages :
• Ultra-fast drying and sagging resistance
• easy to sand and easy to apply
• 20-year durability
• long shelf life The only drawback remains of course a certain odor and a certain harmfulness, which obliges the user to wear a mask and to work in a well-ventilated area.

A few words about performance for Saab color codes:
1L of thinned paint covers 8-10 m² in 1 coat.
2 coats are required to properly paint a paint, giving a final yield for Saab Color code paint of approximately 4-5 m² per litre.

The application of a Saab matt pearlescent or metallic base paint is actually done in the thinnest coats possible, with several passes from left to right, without waiting a long time between coats, because drying is instantaneous.
It is very important to varnish immediately after.

The history of the manufacturer Saab

The history of the Swedish manufacturer Saab began following the impulse of the Swedish government to have a national company capable of meeting the needs to create an armed force capable of defending the country in the years ahead -war.
In its early days, this car manufacturing company was mainly focused on the aeronautical field with the construction of warrior airplanes.
The company was founded in 1937, during a period of great uncertainty that preceded the Second World War. With the end of the war and the decreasing need to build planes, the leaders of the Saab company will seek to diversify the activities in order to make the company survive and it is in the automotive field that they will launch all their energy, from 1947.

The Saab range was a real success and in 1973 made its one million vehicles produced and sold worldwide.
Saab encounters its difficult period, during the beginning of the 20th century, after the crisis of 2008. It therefore faces a restructuring and it is put up for sale, then bought by a Dutch and Russian group called Spyker cars.

Where to find the color code of your Saab car ?

To know the reference of its paint, you have to look on the body and not on the registration card of the car, where you will not find either the name of the color or the Saab color code.
For SAAB brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the color code (vinplate) can be found in two different places:
- On the left front door leaf (driver's side).
- Inside the glove box.
You can take help from the images provided below which illustrate the location.
The color code is made up of three characters (letters or numbers) and more rarely four.

The iconic colors of Saab cars

Among all the colors of the SAAB brand, it would be difficult to identify an iconic paint. Rather, it is necessary to speak of a general tendency on the part of customers to prefer light shades and above all the color white.
The formation of the paint reference of a Saab car comes in this form.
