Where do I find the paint code??

[GLHNSLHT2]

Title pretty much says it all. New yorker got hit while parked at work by the snow plow driver this winter. Ripped the headlight assembly off basically. Putting a lebaron/T&C front end on it as I like the grill and headlights better, more elegant IMO. Need to give the painter the paint code. I don't know where to look for it. Any info would be awesome.

sometimes is in the glove compartment or its on the spare tire cover is where a few places i would look

door vin sticker, underhood data plate would be my suggestions. What year is it, I have the chyslr 86 paint & trim sample books with all the codes. Have others incase it s a different year.

it's a 1987

[tommyturbo]

it's white right? not a beige or other color. I just want to be sure before I go look.

[tommyturbo]

Ok, there are two colors I see.

one is "light vanilla crystal coat" it's an off white color. Code is PL1
two is "white crystal coat" it's a clean white. Code is PW2

Paint code should be on your body trim tag under hood.

yea it's that 87 off-white same as a ShelbyZ I think.

Thanks guys, I'll look for those #'s under the hood.

I think allpar has a huge list of body tag codes, should tell you every included option

No freaking data plate under the hood. Nothing on the door. I assume this car has been wrecked before as the paint on the front is is better shape than from the windshield back but man they did a very nice job at any repairs because it looks very clean and dent free underneath that I can see. Maybe the headlights have been wiped out before and that was their repair. So now I'm kinda stumped.

It's definately not a bright white like the 88+ shelbyZ's changed too, but I'm not sure if it's the "light vanilla crystal coat" either.

Here's some pics of it:








and my off-white 87 ShelbyZ

looks like the Daytona was repainted at some point, the front grill opening should be blacked out. I'd guess by the photos after looking at my paint chips it is white crystal coat PW2.
