Lost the original touch-up tin and wanting the original name of the paint (not a modern equal) for a Mazda Astina GT 1990 series BG 6.3. Would be so grateful. Thanks

Somewhere on the car will be a tag with the paint code.

I had a 1993 Astina import and the code was on a sticker on the door pillar. This may be different if yours is NZ new.

Is the name required simply for your own information? If you want a new touch up tin made the paint code is what is required as paint names are basically meaningless being that there are so many different shades of colour all with the same name.

Mazda Astina GT 1990 UF – Clear White, maybe

Thanks Clark but I think that is the paint car sprayers use as the closest to it. I don't recall the name on the little tin being that. In answer to other suggestions, yes I have checked the driver and passenger door pillar for the paint code and it has only a sticker for tyre pressure, likewise the firewall. The car is NZ assembled.

Yes understood but going for a bigger job than a touch up tin can help with.

Ring 'Car Colors', give them your number plate and they'll look up and supply you with the right paint (anything from an aerosol to a few liters).
With kiwi new vehicles of that age the paint code was often on a sticker on the firewall.

Yes Kabanz, that was my understanding too (see No 6 comment) so I went back and did a bit of a clean this time and voila - there it is! So thanks for the nudge and thanks too Clarke because you were right - it's UF clear white. Brilliant! Thanks everyone.
