If you want to find your vehicle’s Paint code, you can look at the Compliance (Manufacturer’s / Identification) Plate. It is located somewhere on your vehicle and is about the size of a credit card. There you should look for a “Paint” or “Ext. Color” label.
We have provided a diagram above so you can check where the ID plate is located around different car makes. The paint code is necessary if you want us to match the paint of the new part you are purchasing with the paint of your car. That way your new part will look like the original and not a different nuance or hue.
Manufacturers have moved their ID plates throughout the years, so it can be a bit challenging to find yours. That’s why we have the diagram above so you can refer to it.
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.
