Paint code check

Choose your car

Pick the car's make, model, year and colour and we'll find its factory paint code.

Year

Colour

Every colour we have paint codes for on this car. Pick your car's shade:

Colour dots are approximate: tap a dot to see it bigger, and check the shade on the car's paint code label or the advert.

Choose a photo

Not sure which shade? Point the camera at the paint, or choose a photo and tap the paint. In daylight, out of the shade. Nothing leaves your device.

Point the circle at a clean, evenly lit panel.

Auto-detect the paint colour

We find the paint for you. Or tap a clean, evenly lit part of the bodywork to read that spot instead.
