SUBJECT:
Paint Code Information

INTRODUCTION

Note:
This is the most accurate information available at the time of printing.

Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information although many of the major suppliers now use the SOA paint codes to help eliminate confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may have different color names than those provided by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes and formulas to insure an accurate color match. If discrepancies arise, please refer your Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or jobber for the most updated formula information.

The paint coding information can be found on the vehicle's VIN plate which on Forester and Impreza models is located on top of the right front strut tower. For 2007, the information label on Legacy/Outback and B9 Tribeca has been re-located to the rear jamb edge of the right front door. The color codes will be three characters for solid colors and, three characters for a two-tone code.

EXAMPLES:

32J - Obsidian Black Pearl (monotone)
6B6 - Obsidian Black Pearl / Urban Gray Metallic (two-lone)
