Exclamation VIN#

there is a # by the Vin# that will give you the code....not sure exactly which one it is but maybe one of these guys could help u...if not when you call up the dealer should tell u where you can locate it....try steve from carson...gets better prices..

my 99 pear pearl white is :51 (if my memory is still good)
but you can just call the dealer, they only offer 1 peal white color for 98-99. They will be able to figure out what you need w/o your VIN or car

You will need a white base coat (041) and Pearl coat (051).

Kind of expensive but convenient IMO !!! If you can wait take your car to a good local body shop and they can mix some up for you off of the paint code for less than ten bucks usually. It will also match better, trust me !!!

yeah, pretty pricey... but i think it's worth a try.

i ordered the pen set...

i'll see how well it works.

i think it's not that bad if you consider that there are two paint steps to it...

we'll see.
