Well probably not the near future, but some day I hope to repaint my car. Some of the paint is flaking off and I seem to be chasing pin hole rust spots around my car. My question is, does anyone know the paint codes? I know my car has been repainted by one of the previous owners and while the color is close its not exact to the original from what I can tell. From what I know the paint code is next to the fuel filter and mine looks to be ripped in half and All I can make out is the last bit M5Y
Any thoughts?

Also where could I find the paint?

Thanks, I searched a couple of times for paint codes and you think that would have been top of the list! either that or I'm blind.

Any one know the second part, where I could get that paint?

A automotive paint shop should be able to mix it up if you give them the code. They've got books of practically every manufacturer.
