In the Trunk on the Rear Cross member between the Struts is a build sheet. (if it is still there) It will have the Paint code on it.



Then on the 90ish's they placed the paint code on a Yellow or Orange and Black Sticker on the inner fender.
infront of the strut tower.

Ignore the Yellow arrow, but look at the fender ifront of the Strut tower by the a/c hose.



Also if you know the year, you can transverse the interweb to www.cabby-info.com and see the paint samples that were used by year.

 

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Here is the link to the paint by years.

Now if you are wanting a touch up it is better to take a sample of your paint to the Paint Shop of your choosing and they can match it up.  At least here they can scan the color and get it close…
Then fine tune the mix from there…
If you have a good paint shop they can put it in Spray Cans, and or pens.

If yours is an original white (Alpine White) then the paint code is 'L90E'.  :thumbs:

If not you'll just have to go to your paint shop and let them match it the best they can!
