I gather the paint code is on the edge of the driver's door. Which set of numbers and/or letters are for the paint code?

That said, any of you experienced in painting XF's, do you know if the two stage black paint is anything special, or is it simply black paint with clear coat?

I want to get a quart of black paint base (I have clear coat). What I don't want is to pay for the XF code's black base and I'm simply given black right out of the 'faucet'.

Years ago I knew a fellow whose restoration shop did very high quality restorations on mostly European cars. A Porsche client wanted to make sure they got the correct black paint. After he picked it up, he wrote 'black Porsche' on the lid. Client was happy.
