Paint Code Finder

Every car carries its exact paint formula as a short code — usually on the driver door jamb. Pick your make to see where it hides and what it looks like, then text us a photo of the sticker and we’ll tell you the color name and where to buy matching touch-up.

Where’s my code?

Pick your make

Why the code beats the name

“Blueprint Metallic” isn’t a color

Automakers reuse color names across years and models while the actual formula changes — two cars with the same name can be visibly different once the light hits. The code on the sticker is what a body shop or paint counter mixes from, and the difference between a touch-up that disappears and one that flashes wrong every time.

Codes sometimes come in pairs — base plus accent on two-tone trucks and painted cladding. Grab both.

The honest part

Why we decode it by photo

Paint formulas are proprietary — there is no free public database mapping every code to a color name, and anybody promising one is guessing. What’s public is where the code lives, which is what the finder above shows.

The code-to-color step is a human one: text us a photo of the sticker (and the year/make/model), and we’ll come back with the exact color name, the right touch-up to order, and how much a pro blend would run if the scratch is past the pen stage.

Scratch, chip, or curb rash?

Text the sticker, get the color

One photo of your door jamb to the shop line and I’ll reply with the exact formula and your options — pen, bottle, or blend. Mobile paint and chip repair is a driveway job.
