735 is Astral Silver. The G is for Glasurit, the paint manufacturer. The first is the body color. The second for the hard top color. In the begining the hard top might not match the body color.
Thanks for the profile.

Thanks for the profile.
I tried a couple Doctor Color chip paints on two of my cars. On my R107 (Signal Red) it worked fairly well. On my metallic blue BMW not as well. I've seen it used on a metallic silver as well, and it comes out darker than the original finish. Has something to do with the way the flakes orient themselves. Works reasonable well on solid color paints though.
