If you open the drivers door and look on the door jamb or on the end of the door, there should be a sticker for the paint code number.

If I am guessing right about why you asked the question, you should be aware that buying paint for a car that is more than a year or two old and expecting it to match the original, now faded paint is likely to result in disappointment. A good professional auto painter can do a better job using their experience. They likely will choose a color that does not expertly match but will shortly fade a little to match the current color of your car.

```
That said, modern paints are really good and today often using stock colors really do match well. 

```

Good Luck

One more tip: a good paint supplier can even mix a color using a spectral scan. They can also preload a canister for you. They’ll even mix in the plastisizer, essential if you’re doing a plastic bumper. These services can make a huge difference in the quality of the final job.
