-L55- spanish olive
-G56- polo green
-G12
-G84
-G99


I pulled those codes from:

If you guys need more pics, I can get em. And I already checked my little info plate on the firewall...it's faded away from age and I searched for them. VIN number is 4A3AK54F7VE046782.

Thanks guys!

Monarch Green / Polo Green, Code G56

It's the same color as my '97 GS.

Thanks! Let's here what other people have to say.

Im no expert on paint but that looks a lot like the color of my Nissan Titan... Wasnt even listed as a green though for some weird reason.. It was like Deep Ocean Blue or some crap... I had black 24" Incubus Paranormals on it and it looked sick. I like the dark green w/ black rims. Thinking about it and picturing it in your head you'd think dark green and black wouldnt flow, but it seems to.

No need- I'm right.

PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint is another good scource for codes for any manufacturer's color.


Mine's an R33 - Raspberry Red Clearcoat .. original color for the X2S concept DSM of 1988.

But it's cheaper to find a PPG paint store to get your paints than to go on this online site. But, this site is handy to get your code before heading to that local store.

Can a PPG paint store tell you your color?

Colors according to the G56 Monarch Green on this site, it doesn't seem to match with my car. The G56 looks more lighter where mine seems more darker shade. Anyone?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_green: On Wikipedia, my color looks to be around a Viridian and the Pine Green.

You have to realize that paint does get tired after 11yrs on any metal surface, along with paint chips being totally inaccurate when it comes to the real thing.

There is also a disclaimer in that site of being that the colors represented will NOT be the accurate color, but a close representation. One has to take that into account when seeing chips or images of colors on the internet.

Being painting as a side hobby for many years - in both home and auto - that there is no such thing as the color will look the same wet as it does dry. It's just one of those things in life.

When I repainted the liftgate on my car, it was slightly darker than what the original paint was - being almost a 20yr old color. Yet, after the color settled down after spraying and clearcoat, it definitely matched some of the better coloring on my car. But, you can tell that I NOW do need a full body paint job due to the hatch looking so much better than the rest of the car.

I replaced my liftback due to a previous owner wanted to be a 'ricer wannabe' by putting a horrible wing on the back end and he didn't know how to use a drill. Thus really wasted a good liftback. I went out to a yard, and for 50 bucks, tagged a good liftback and did the repaint job.

PPG stores also have record of your code to match up the paints needed if you give them your year and make. Plus, if the manufacturer's plate is still on the firewall of your car, the paint code is right there and they know where to look for it. Also being it's all customized paints - being they have to mix it to match your code - no store bought "rattle can" paint allowed here.

Some facts for you to chew around on some... Good Luck - DSM

Isn't there a way to tell by looking at the vin#?

 

[DSM1G90]

No, unfortunately- even though the VIN shows motor, type of vehicle class, accessories, year and assembly line.

The build identification is the sticker located on the firewall - what chassis, GVW, motor, tranny, trim, paint and model number. Then the VIN is also included to identify this build.

If a DSM is without any form of build sticker, one can almost cheat by taking the roof liner, door, and any plastic liners out to see the original paint. Then goto a site and see if the color is one listed with the year of the vehicle.

This is what I like about paint scratch: for I found a color on a car that didn't have any plate or labeling to get a color code from so I can get the paint from a PPG store.
