Anthracite is a metallic grey, that was popular with the SS model. That particular grey, I may be able to find it. Give me a day, and I'll get back to you

| I've checked the usual databases, and there seems to be no listing for that colour, so far anyway. The main one I use has a listing on just about every exterior colour Holden has ever used, and even lists the years of when it was used. It will also tell you whether the colour is a solid or a metallic, but so far, no joy in finding it. Your best bet would be to take a photo of a VN Executive, and show it to a paint shop. Somebody might know that code. The trouble lies in the fact that that was unique to the VN series. I think some VLs might have painted the sills grey, but they dropped the idea with the VP, therefore "orphaning" that style treatment. |

| I've had the same problem lately. My car is the same year and the same paint code. But the paints that visually match are Alaskan white over shadow grey. Bottom sill is rocker grey. This may cause more questions than answers but that is what I'm going with. I do wonder if there was an error made at the factory. |
