About CarPaintCode

CarPaintCode is a free reference for car owners, body shops and paint suppliers: factory paint codes by make, model and year, with a screen swatch, the models that share each code, and where to find the code on the car.

How the data is kept

Paint codes, colour names and model years are factual data published by the carmakers on their paint labels, order guides and brochures. We group the listings into one page per make and code, check names against the colour family of the swatch, and flag listings that do not agree. Code-location guides are written by us.

Screen swatches are approximations: monitors, light and the age of the paint all change how a colour looks. Always confirm the code on your car's label before buying paint.

Corrections
