Maybe some useful information for some here, definitely something that was bugging me. Both Akzo codes get mentioned here and there as the correct gold for the Williams' Speedlines. This seemed strange, as two different codes would imply two different colours. After about three weeks of trying to get through to Akzo, I was finally able to speak to someone, who confirmed that R9312 is listed as the correct colour for the Clio Williams, albeit they had years 1995-2004 noted, which didn't sound right. 7E812018 was listed as a Ford Transit colour. Fearing 7E81208 might be correct, but an earlier, 1993+ colour (have read on this forum the colour changed for the W2/3) and wanting to get to the bottom of this, I visited a local Akzo product dealer. Indeed, they were able to find R9312, but had problems with finding 7E812018. They got in touch with Akzo themselves and after about 10mins investigation, their Akzo contact confirmed that these two codes are indeed the same colour, just R9312 being paint, while 7E81208 being a powdercoat equivalent. Was also told by the sales guy 7E81208 is no longer available (although I have doubts if this is 100% true, didn't seem like he did much checking). So... hope that helps! :)

I get a "Contact your helpdesk, we do not have a formula for this color in the selected productline (yet)." error?...

if you can get to the homepage;
.https://www.mixitcloud.com/#/landing
.quick and easy colour search - try it now
.Under business type - select 'vehicle refinishes' and under owner type select 'automotive'
.then from the prodcut line selection, just tick the 'Sikkens Autowave mm'
.then under documentation selection choose colourmap FD
.under preferences select 'autowave MM'
. then you want Renault, then clio, then 1995 (earliest it goes to) then colour group= yellow, youll then get 4 or 5 different yellows.. remove the clio filter and you'll see the williams paint code

Yes... that I already knew. Was more a matter of finding out why people here have often also quoted the 7E81208 code as correct and what colour it is (the same, apparently).
