96 and 99 white bumper color the same?

[tom1995tsi]

I have a chance to get a 99 front bumper in great condition that is already white and my car is white (96 talon). Is the 96 and 99 white the same, can i just bolt the bumper right onto my car? If i can it would be great because I dont feel like paying the extra money to get ir repainted if i can just bolt this one on. It is off a 99 gs btw.

You'll need 97+ headlights whether the color matches or not.

I know that but I need to know if the colors are the same.

I don't think so, look at this thread.

The white on the eclipse is w12, you should check your paint code.

 

[AWDPetmitsu]

Yes, they are.

 

[16gkid]

No they are not the eclipse white is called north star white and the talon white is something different

Just go and ask somebody at an automotive paint store. Simple.

Talon white is Bright White.

Chrysler white "bright white" and Mitsubishi white "northstar white are exactly the same white.

Isn't the color code posted in a sticker in the engine bay?

Lol super old thread dude

Yes, but sometimes that sticker gets all gnarly and hard to read. Ask me how I know.

"Northstar White" and "Bright White" both have the same paint codes of W12 or AC10812. But, it seems the two different codes might be two different shades of white. It looks to me like one has some Silver in it.

Edit: I just realized this thread is 7 years old. I think the OP might have found his answer by now.

I hope the OP found the answer to this 7 year old thread.

I wonder if that OP's car is still even around.

But yeah, they should be the same. Since one car is Chrysler and one Mitsu, they used different names. Wouldn't make since from a manufacturer's standpoint to run two slightly different colors on the same car. However, what you'll run into is fade from being outside for years, so in that respect the colors may look different.
