[leokperez]

Hi I'm writting to all with a black 95-96 eclipse I'm trying to get some body parts painted but my color and trim sticker is faded and I don't know the paint code for my car can anyone please help me? If you look at your car on the firewall by the battery the paint code is there on the sticker. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Isn't it Sable Black?

I'm sure my code is different, but I've got like 3 cans of sable black paint waiting to be used on my car.

That chart don't have the color for the 95 and up years they just have it for the earlier model. They just give the chart with the codes but I don't know what my code is so that don't help me much.

Defiant,
Are these the same color codes as a talon? I always thought mine was called Chrysler Bright White

Chrysler Bright White is code PW7; PPG code 4037.

It is the SAME color as Northstar White, code W12. If I put W12 into PPG's colorweb system, I come up with 4037 as the paint to make.

I mix GALLONS of PPG paint everyday at work; you'd be surprised how many colors are the same from manufacturer to manufacturer even though the body color code is totally different.

That's a screencap from Paintscratch.com. I would never pretend to tip-toe into the minefield that is color design. It's still baffling to me how colors fit cars, and how much a shade can affect the effect. As for naming, it's just like finding out what TSi means.
Matching colors these days is done with a scanner. The original code is often invalid after one season's sun.
