Paint Codes

[avlimited <anthony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked my data plate. It has 55 under model and 137 under paint. I had 
desert rose 55, 12 years ago. I thought the owner of this car was incorrect 
when he told me Tahitian coral, I also thought desert rose. This car has 
never been repainted. But unless I am really wrong it is not desert rose. 
Indeed if the code for Tahitian coral is 000, and desert rose is 35 it is 
neither.

Thanks for your help.
