* The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate: This plate, usually located on the driver's side dashboard, often contains a paint code or a number that can be cross-referenced to find the paint code. However, it's not always directly listed.
* The Driver's Side Door Jamb: Look at the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb. While it may not specifically say "paint code," it will likely have information about the car's specifications including the paint code.
* Owner's Manual: If you still have the original owner's manual, it might list the paint code.
* Chevrolet Dealer: A Chevrolet dealership, especially one with an older car service department, can access the information through the vehicle's VIN. They might charge a small fee.
* Online VIN Decoder: Several online services decode VINs and provide information including paint codes. Be sure to use a reputable service. However, the accuracy of these services varies.
* Under the Hood (sometimes): While less common, a sticker providing the paint code might sometimes be located under the hood.
The paint code itself will typically be a combination of letters and numbers. Once you locate it, you can use this code to match the paint at an auto parts store or paint specialist.
