Paint matching
Where is my paint code?
Your factory paint code tells us exactly which color to mix. It is usually on a sticker on the vehicle—not the same as the color name on the outside.
Factory code color match
We mix to your OEM paint code for the closest factory-style match. Verify your code on the door jamb sticker before ordering. Questions? See our color match policy in the FAQ.
Driver's door jamb (most common)
Open the driver's door and look at the sticker on the door frame or pillar. Labels often say "Paint" or "Color" followed by a code such as NH731P, WA8555, or 1G3. You may also see a color name on the same sticker.
Under the hood or trunk
Some manufacturers place a second label under the hood, on the radiator support, or inside the trunk lid. Check there if you do not see a code on the door jamb.
By brand — where to look
Sticker placement is similar across years, but labels vary by manufacturer. Use this as a quick reference—your exact label may use different wording.
Honda, Acura
Driver door jamb sticker — look for a code near “COLOR” or “PAINT”.
Codes are often 3–5 characters (for example NH731P).
Toyota, Lexus, Scion
Driver door jamb or under the hood on the radiator support.
One paint code may have multiple marketing names — use the code, not the name.
Ford, Lincoln
Driver door jamb; some trucks also list codes on the glove box door.
Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick
Driver door jamb or trunk lid on sedans; glove box on some models.
GM family codes are often shared across brands (for example WA8555).
Nissan, Infiniti
Driver door jamb sticker or firewall label under the hood.
BMW, MINI
Driver door jamb or under-hood label on the strut tower.
Mercedes-Benz, Smart
Driver door jamb; may show a 3-digit or alphanumeric code.

Driver door jamb; older models may use a second sticker in the glove box.

Driver door jamb or trunk floor sticker near the spare.
Owner's manual and build sheet
Your owner's manual may list the paint code. A window sticker or build sheet from the dealer (if you have one) also shows the original factory color code.
Tips
- Enter the code exactly as printed, including letters and numbers.
- If you see several codes, choose the one labeled for exterior body paint.
