how to find alloy wheel paint code
Hey Tom, I need to touch up the paint on my car's alloy wheels. Do you know where I can find the paint code?
Hello! Yes, you can usually find the paint code in the owner's manual of your car. Sometimes, it's also stamped on the car itself – check the driver’s door jam or under the hood. Moreover, you can contact the dealership or the car's manufacturer, giving them the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Thanks, Tom. I already checked the manual and the door jam, but couldn't find it. Could you explain how I can find it under the hood?
Sure! The paint code under the hood would usually be on a sticker or a metal plate. It may be near the front of the engine bay or closer to the windshield. However, the location varies from one car model to another. Also, remember, paint codes can be a series of numbers, letters, or both.
Got it. What if I still can't locate the paint code? Do I have any other alternatives?
Absolutely! You can call or visit your car's dealership with your VIN. They should be able to provide you with the paint code. Alternatively, there are also online databases you can use. Enter your make, year, and model of your car, and you should be able to find the correct paint code.
Thanks, Tom! That's really helpful. I'll start looking under the hood now.
You're welcome! Be patient and take your time to find it. If you need more help or run into any problems, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!
