Auto Body Parts - Paint Car Code

To find the Paint code of your vehicle, you can take a look at the Compliance / Manufacturer's / Identification Plate, which should be somewhere on your automobile. It is roughly the size of a credit card, and the Paint code is referred to as "Paint" or "Ext. Color".

In the given diagram you can see where this ID plate with the included Paint Code can be found. We need this code in order to match your vehicle's original paint color in the paint mixing process. Throughout the years manufacturers have moved the location of the ID plates & labels, which is why we give you several possible locations they can be found.

If you fail to locate your paint code, please, call your local dealer with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN #) and ask them for your paint code. They will gladly provide you with it.
