How to Find Your Car Body Color
1. Check Your Vehicle Registration Card
Your vehicle registration card will list your car’s make, model, year, and VIN number. You can use this information to look up your car’s body color in a database.
2. Check Your Car’s Owner’s Manual
Your car’s owner’s manual will usually contain a section on paint and body care. This section will often include the name of your car’s body color.
3. Look at Your Car’s Paint Code
Your car’s paint code is a unique identifier that is used to match your car’s paint color. You can usually find your car’s paint code on a sticker or label inside the driver’s side door jamb.
4. Use an Online VIN Decoder
There are a number of online VIN decoders that can provide you with information about your car, including its body color. To use a VIN decoder, simply enter your car’s VIN number into the decoder’s search bar.
5. Contact Your Car’s Manufacturer
If you are unable to find your car’s body color using any of the above methods, you can contact your car’s manufacturer. The manufacturer will be able to provide you with the correct body color for your car.
Additional Tips
- If your car has been repainted, the body color may not be the same as the original color.
- Some car manufacturers use different names for the same color. For example, “silver” may be called “platinum” or “pewter” by different manufacturers.
- If you are unsure about your car’s body color, it is best to contact your car’s manufacturer or a qualified body shop.
