Find Your Paint Code
Why the Color Code Matters
When repairing chips or scratches on your car, using the correct color code is essential to achieving a flawless, factory-quality finish. To ensure your touch-up paint blends seamlessly with your vehicle’s original paint, you’ll need four key details:
- Color Code (found on your vehicle’s information tag or door jamb)
- Color Name (such as White Pearl, Silver Metallic, or Deep Blue)
- Vehicle Brand (e.g., Toyota, BMW, Ford, Subaru, Honda, etc.)
- Model Year
Of these, the color code is the most important; it guarantees that your touch up paint perfectly matches your car’s exact factory shade. The other details help confirm accuracy and prevent ordering the wrong formula, especially for colors that share similar names.
NOTE: If your car has been repainted or custom painted, the original factory color code on the vehicle tag will no longer match your current color. In that case, a professional color scan or custom color match service is recommended to achieve an exact match.
Where to Find Your Color Code
Every vehicle comes with a factory paint color code - a unique identifier that ensures your touch up paint matches perfectly. This code is located on your vehicle’s information tag, which varies in placement depending on the make and model of your car.
Common Locations for Vehicle Paint Codes:
- Driver-side door jamb or door edge
- Under the hood (on the firewall or strut tower)
- Inside the glove compartment
- In the trunk or spare tire well
- On the radiator support or near the VIN label
Can’t find it? Don’t worry — there are a few simple ways to track it down:
- Use your VIN number: Located on the driver-side dashboard near the windshield.
- Contact your dealership: They can confirm your factory color code using your VIN.
- Submit our Color Request Form: Fill it out on our website, and our Touch Up Genie team will help you identify the correct paint color code for your vehicle.
