Where to Find Your Car's Paint Code
At Motor Coater, we strive to provide you with the perfect paint match for your vehicle. In most cases, we can locate your exact car paint match using your registration number, making it the quickest and easiest way to order your car paint.
Occasionally, our database may not have the car paint code information. In such cases, you may need to provide us with the paint code so we can match it precisely.
What Does a Paint Code Look Like?
A paint code typically consists of 3-4 letters or numbers printed on a metal plate (approximately the size of a wallet) or sticker. These codes may appear as follows:
- 1AB
- 3T3
- 41V
- KTV
- 268a
Modern vehicles will have their paint code located on the bodywork, with common locations including the door jamb, door frame, or door hinge. However, the paint code may also be found in several other areas, depending on the manufacturer:
- Boot lid
- Door jamb
- Door hinge
- Firewall
- Under the bonnet
- Glove box
- Spare wheel well
