The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Hi, I am after the paint code for a White Gl 1992 wagon. I have searched all the places listed for the paint and trim code but it is not there.
Thanks Howie.
NB. Here is a list of paint codes from a google search, cut and paste. I think the first lot came from these forums.

It should be stamped on the compliance/build plate in the engine bay.
Failing that an electronic colour-match from your local car-paint shop is amazingly accurate.

it will be arctic or ceramic for that year.....as per the first list....gimme chassis number and ill punch it in

I only have 1 compliance plate in engine bay. The other listed locations for paint code compliance have nothing attached.

Compliance plate has following info.
Approval No: 6797 Category: MA
Subaru L
Manufacture 02/92 GVM 1655
VIN: JF2AN5HR0GE429575

I have found the following USA web site re "Auto Body Repair and Repainting" useful. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/bodywork.html

STRANGE COMPUTA SAYS COLOR CODE IS 30 BUT I CANT FIND WHAT IT IS yet

thanks for trying, it is puzzling for all the people i have asked. Might just cruse around looking for other white GLs and ask them to pop the lid

well its definately arctic or ceramic but i cant narrow it down any more than that

hey have a look on the passenger strut tower under bonnet

went for the, ceramic white #057 1990-92, and it seems to be a match. A lot more shiny than the rest of the car. Now i am experiencing the joys of trying to paint in winter. The shed had a heater transplant and still the paint bubbled. wet sand when dry and start again on the top coat. cheers mark

Found another couple of web resources that may be helpful re spray painting.
