Paint code by reg · UK

What colour is my car — and what's its paint code?

Enter your registration or VIN. We identify the make, model and colour, then show the factory paint code — and what to buy for the chip or scratch.

Registration (e.g. AB12 CDE) or the 17-character VIN.

How it works

  1. Enter the plate. We identify the make, model and year from DVLA data.
  2. Get the code. The exact factory code where we have it; the likely shades where we don't.
  3. Match the fix. Pen, kit, aerosol or a local repairer — depending on the damage.
