I believe the firewall still has the original paint. Perhaps they can scan that with the camera for a match.

Give them you year, color name, and paint code. Give them PPG code 43276 ( from the link that Bill posted ). That code is shown on the TCP Global website - it looks like they might sell a paint for that code. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 206 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 206 | Thanks Tim. My son found it today at NAPA under the original code number. Hopefully they will get it right.
