Three steps to the right paint

  1. Find the label. Most cars print the code on the driver's door jamb; others under the bonnet, in the boot or the glovebox. Where is it on my car?
  2. Match the code. Look the code up under your make. One code can carry different names over the years; the code is what counts.
  3. Order by code and year. Give the paint supplier the code, make and year, and try a test card in daylight first. Touch-up guide
