Paint Code confirmation

Post by TJS »

Could someone please confirm what Paint code is correct for my MR2?

Please see image:

I beleive the code is 8J2 Zircon Blue, however my service manual is marked 8H3. I think its just an error as Nautical Blue Metallic 8H3 seems much darker.

I need to source doors and touch up paint for it so I want to be sure I have the paint code/colour correct.

Also where do I need to look to find the paint code?

The car looks very dirty in the pics as it had been sitting for a while before I bought it - its now looking much better :lol:

Thanks in advance

I can't say one way or the other but shouldn't the paint code be on the VIN plate? If you don't know where it's located, it's in the frunk (front boot/bonnet thing lol) on the rear of the panel behind the radiator. Make sense? :lol: Basically open the bonnet and bend over forwards looking towards your knees and you should see it :thumleft:
