Paint codes - which number 1800 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob Fischer on  Thu Jun 6 05:38 CST 2013 [RELATED]

Assuming the vehicle generally looks gold, as I suspect it does, Shaye's exactly right. #400 was a very popular color during the late '80's, and you still see a lot of 740's out on the road painted that color. I think I had earlier seen the color listed as simply "metallic beige," but perhaps since everyone seems to take one look at cars painted this color and immediately characterize them as gold, the company may have changed the name.

As you now doubt have now figured out by way of deductive reasoning anyway, based on where the "400-1" appears on your vehicle, the paint code usually is on the second to last line of text that looks as if it's been typed into the form-like ID plate that's located under the hood at the very front of the car.
