INTRODUCTION

Note: This is the most accurate information available at the time of printing.

Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information although many of the major suppliers now use the SOA paint codes to help eliminate confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis Some vendors may have different color names than those provided by SOA Be sure to double-check the codes and formulas to insure an accurate color match If discrepancies arise, please refer your Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or jobber for the most updated formula information.

The paint coding information can be found on the vehicle's VIN plate. The color codes will be three characters for solid colors and three characters for a two-tone code.

A7K Quartz Silver Metallic
CZ2 Deep Bronze Metallic / Harvest Gold Metallic
