    I have a couple of scratches on my 2014 Opel Insignia that need touching up. I went into Halfords and they have a few different Opel blacks. How do I find out which is the correct one for my car? The registration certificate just says black.

    Thanks Biko. That’s very helpful. I followed the instructions and my code is Z22C.

    In Halfords now and the paints they have are for Vauxhall cars and use a different code. There are 4 different blacks - Black, Midnight Black, Moonland and Black Sapphire. I asked a shop assistant, but all he did was refer me to a book that was no help at all.

    Any idea how I can map the Opel code to an equivalent Vauxhall code?

    I looked up 22C online and got several unhelpful results, but one of them mentioned the word midnight, so I went for midnight black.

    Opel - Vauxhall codes can be translated online.

    I’ve had no problems with the car. Everything running smoothly. I have it just over 6 years.

    It’s a petrol model. I think it’s the diesel that has been experiencing problems.

    Paint code is CARBON FLASH/I'LL BE BLACK (GAR)

    GAR is what you need to order paint.
